Veteran leadership fused with young talent.
If there’s a formula for success Mickey Conn plans to use for 2024, he likely will utilize that.
Conn’s position group shuffled around in 2023, mixing freshman talent with established starters such as RJ Mickens and Andrew Mukuba.
Some circumstances were injury-related in that youth movement, and some Tigers were just difficult to keep on the sidelines.
New talent like Khalil Barnes, who played most of the young secondary, received freshman All-American honors in his first year at Clemson. There’s also Kylon Griffin, a redshirt freshman who saw more action, stepping in for a crucial matchup with Notre Dame.
