CLEMSON - Things have come full circle for senior offensive lineman Marcus Tate.
In his first season as a starter in 2021, he played his first collegiate snap against the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs when No. 3 Clemson lost 10-3 in a defense-dominated game. Now in his final season, Tate and the No. 14 Tigers will start things off with the Bulldogs who come in ranked as the No. 1 team in the country.
“I remember going against them and I just remember having big eyes going out there. But, I think now, I’m much more focused, much more mature and I’m just very excited for the opportunity to get to play them again and just with the opportunity that’s going to play the number one team in the country and getting to play them again and knowing that it’s my senior year and it’s my first game, just how I started my career playing against them … It’s very much a blessing,” Tate said.
