He was not as flamboyant as his former teammate Mackensie Alexander, but Cordrea Tankersley was every bit as good.
Alexander was known for getting in his opponents’ faces and letting everyone know how good he was. Tankersley was different. He was quiet, but he was every bit as effective.
Tankersley was Clemson’s All-American cornerback during its national championship run in 2016. He earned First-Team All-American honors from USA TODAY Sports and was a third-team selection by the Associated Press.
