Clemson Football: Nyles Pinckney set to dominate the interior line in 2019

The Clemson football team missed the presence of both Nyles Pinckney and Jordan Williams participating in spring practice, but the two still made an impact.

Both Pinckney and Williams- the projected starters at defensive tackle- were unable to participate in practice due to injuries in the spring. Despite that, both guys made an impact by continuing to lead and encouraging their younger teammates to get better on the field during the couple of months of spring camp.

Both are expected to be back later this summer, though, as they recoup from their injuries.

After looking back at some of the film from the 2018 Clemson football season, I’m convinced that Nyles Pinckney is going to be dominant in the interior of that defensive line, assuming that he is 100 percent healthy.
