Derion Kendrick does not care what position he plays, whether he lines up on offense or defense. He simply wants to be on the field and help Clemson any way he can.
“I just like helping my team,” Kendrick said after the Tigers’ spring practice on Friday. “I just like to win.”
Kendrick (6-0, 195) was recruited by Clemson as a wide receiver and logged 283 offensive snaps in 15 games as a freshman in 2018, catching 15 passes for 210 yards.
But because of a number of injuries at the cornerback position this spring, as well as Clemson’s depth at wide receiver, Kendrick was approached by the coaches about working at corner in addition to receiver.
