Fans or no fans, Jones ready for the opportunity

Everything is starting to fall into place for Clemson linebacker Mike Jones. After having limited action in his first two seasons as a Tiger, Jones is looking forward to the first start of his career this Saturday when the top-ranked Tigers visit Wake Forest to kick off the 2020 football season.

With the departure of Clemson All-American Isaiah Simmons, who has since moved on to the NFL, Jones has an opportunity to become a real difference maker on defense for the Tigers.

“I am very excited about the opportunity,” Jones said. “I am trying to not think about it as much, but I am just ready to go out there and play.
