CLEMSON - Sophomore cornerback Shelton Lewis was unable to play against Georgia because of injury (lower body) but was able to make his season debut in Clemson’s 66-20 victory against Appalachian State, where he recorded two pass breakups.
One difference for Lewis was playing the nickel position during that game. Prior to facing the Mountaineers, Lewis normally operated in the cornerback position rather than nickel. Getting that experience and increasing his versatility was something Lewis took a lot of pride in.
“With our corner spot, you’re pressing all the time. Nickel, you kind of playing a little off-man, a lot more zone, a lot more just having better eyes.
