Clemson Football: Tiger secondary brings experience to defense heading into spring

Clemson football has just four returning starters on defense from last year’s National Championship team.

Of those four starters, three of them are members of the secondary. As a matter of fact, you could make an argument that all four are members of the secondary.

K’Von Wallace (safety), Tanner Muse (safety), AJ Terrell (cornerback) and Isaiah Simmons (SLB/Nickel) are the four returning starters from what was the best defense in the nation last season.

Despite the Tigers having a dominant defense, there were complaints all season about the viability of the secondary and that back-end. As a matter of fact, those talks continued through the entire regular season and didn’t really change.
