Freshman defender after big moment: "I'm trying to be the best"

Freshman safety Ricardo Jones made a name for himself early into his Clemson career.

In the fourth quarter against Appalachian State, he grabbed a red zone interception that stopped a promising drive late into the game. In that moment close to the endzone, Jones credits the instincts that he learned and the coaching by the staff; he went through the motions and flashed back to the moment.
