NEW ORLEANS – When Clemson linebacker Bryton Constantin arrived to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Friday afternoon ahead of Monday’s national championship game against LSU, it marked his return to his native state of Louisiana.
“Just stepping off the plane, I smelt that air, it felt like home,” Constantin told The Clemson Insider on Saturday during Clemson’s media day for the national title game. “The Superdome, I won two back-to-back state championships in there, so I’m going to feel real at home on Monday.”
Constantin, a freshman from LSU’s stomping ground of Baton Rouge, has redshirted this season while rehabbing from a knee injury and will not be able to suit up in the national title game.
