Clemson’s youth has Tigers ready for another run in the CFP

Once again Clemson has made it back to the College Football Playoff. And like every year, the Tigers do it with strong leadership from veteran players, while a couple of younger players emerge as potential stars for the future.

Though Clemson has star players like Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Amari Rodgers, Tyler Davis, James Skalski and Derion Kendrick, it also has young playmakers everywhere as well.

In recent weeks, freshman wide receiver E.J. Williams has flashed his potential. As has running back Chez Mellusi. On defense, defensive tackle Bryan Bresee and defensive end Myles Murphy have dominated opponents all year, while other freshmen such as Malcolm Greene and Trent Simpson have come on strong at the tail end of the season.
