Clemson is losing plenty of talent off of its 2018 defense, but its leading tackler is returning to school.
Tigers nickel/sam linebacker Isaiah Simmons announced Monday night on social media that he is returning to school for his redshirt junior season.
Simmons led the Tigers with 89 tackles in 2018. The Kansas native averaged 9.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. Simmons also led the Tigers with six pass breakups and had an interception.
In addition to Simmons, safety Tanner Muse also announced that he is returning to Clemson for the 2019 season.
