CLEMSON – Once you’ve faced a nine-foot shark in its own environment and lived to tell the tale, defensive linemen are a piece of cake.
Bookend tackles Jake Fruhmorgen and Mitch Hyatt were on a fishing trip in the Florida Keys over the summer, along with fellow lineman Noah Green and quarterback Tucker Israel when the group of Tigers met a real tiger. A tiger shark.
Hyatt started at left tackle last season while Fruhmorgen earned valuable snaps at right tackle. Both are expected to start this season, and they are roommates and best friends.
