Tre Lamar got a good laugh when he was asked about freshman linebacker Jake Venables earlier this week.

Venables, the son of Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables, got mad and threw a couple of swings during one of the Tigers’ earlier practices in fall camp.

“You can tell he has that Venables’ blood in him,” Lamar said with a huge grin. “He and dad were mad out there.

“It was good to see. Jake plays hard and he is a physical linebacker. He is like Coach V in a way that they are very aggressive and passionate about what they do.
