Brent Venables just doesn’t throw around compliments. When he compliments a player or brags about him in the public eye, there is a good reason as to why.
Venables loves to brag about former Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware, and for good reason. Boulware just did not wear his heart on his jersey sleeve every day in practice or in games, he came to work and he loved it.
Clemson’s defensive coach described Boulware as a selfless leader who put the team’s needs in front of his own goals, even if it meant costing him post-season recognition and awards.
