Other than quarterback, the center position is the most important position on any offense. The center has a lot of responsibilities, including making all the blocking calls and ensuring everyone up front understands their assignment and that it is communicated properly to them.
For Clemson, it will enter the 2020 season with a new starter at center following the departure of Sean Pollard, a former permanent team captain who started all 15 games at the position last season and earned second-team All-ACC honors in the process.
Fifth-year senior Cade Stewart is Pollard’s projected replacement heading into the season.
