After his first career start for top-ranked Clemson in the Tigers’ 37-13 victory over Wake Forest, Mike Jones discovered a newfound appreciation for his love of the game.
The Nashville, Tenn., native, who ended the night with a career-high five tackles, said while he had a lot of nerves going into Saturday’s contest, getting to finally go out there and play with his teammates was a moment he will never forget.
“Man, I would say it was everything I thought it’d be,” Jones said. “You know, it all comes back to like it’s just football and I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been nervous all week.
