CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney opened up practices to the media this week so we could get a better look at the 40 freshmen and redshirt freshmen that now dot the roster.
With so many younger players needing to fill spots – especially on defense – the competition has been fierce early in camp as each player endeavors to impress the coaches. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables met with the media after Thursday’s third practice, and he said he isn’t in a rush to say that any one player has claimed a spot on the depth chart.
