Clemson’s Jackson Carman has appetite for getting better, tackling bigger role

Jackson Carman’s personality and hobbies off the football field are as unique as his size.

Listed at 6-foot-5, 345 pounds, the sophomore Clemson left tackle from Fairfield, Ohio, plays the guitar and performs musically. He can get up on a wakeboard and do tricks on the water, much to the surprise of his teammates.

Carman bakes Oreo Devil’s Food cakes for Kathleen Swinney, head coach Dabo Swinney’s wife. He also made one for star quarterback Trevor Lawrence for his birthday.

Because of his diverse interests, Carman nearly went to Southern Cal to take advantage of cultural opportunities.
