Clemson began fall camp knowing Nolan Turner and Lannden Zanders would anchor the back end of its defense at safety this fall. The real question in the secondary was who was going to join them in the starting lineup on the outside?
The answer is starting to solidify.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Andrew Booth Jr. and Mario Goodrich would likely be the starting corners if the Tigers had to play a game today. Malcolm Greene, meanwhile, has the inside track at nickel.
But Swinney said he’s been impressed by all of the Tigers’ top six corners — a group that also includes Fred Davis, Sheridan Jones and freshman Nate Wiggins — to the point that he and defensive coordinator Brent Venables won’t hesitate to put any of them in the game.
