One position Clemson is tasked with reloading at on defense for next season is safety. The Tigers are losing seniors K’Von Wallace, Tanner Muse and Denzel Johnson along with versatile redshirt junior linebacker/safety Isaiah Simmons, who is expected to forgo his senior year and enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
Rising senior Nolan Turner figures to slide into Muse’s starting free safety spot, while rising sophomores Lannden Zanders, Joseph Charleston and Jalyn Phillips, as well as redshirt freshman Ray Thornton, will all be asked to help fill the void left by the aforementioned departures.
Clemson also recently welcomed a couple of newcomers to the fold at safety in R.
