Clemson football freshman linebacker Tre Lamar needs to start for the Tiger defense and it’s not the reason that you’re probably thinking.
Of course Lamar is talented and of course he has the higher upside than his other middle linebacking counterpart Kendall Joseph, but there’s a distinct reason Clemson football needs him to start.
Coming into this season, one of my main concerns for the Tigers’ defense was the speed in the middle of the defense. Unfortunately, the linebackers are not all that fast and, in many cases as we’ve seen throughout fall camp, that leads to big plays for the opposing offense.
