We broke down how the Clemson Tiger offensive line played a huge part in their dynasty dismantling of Alabama (check that out here). Now we’ll zoom out to take a look and appreciate the whole career of the starting center from that excellent OL.
Justin Falcinelli came to Clemson as a three-star recruit out of Maryland after choosing the Tigers over Maryland Terps and Stanford Cardinal. He redshirted his first year, then played sparingly over the next two (123, 174 snaps respectively). As a redshirt junior, he ascended to the starting center position with back-to-back All-ACC performer Jay Guillermo’s graduation.
