With highly touted recruits Bryan Bresee and Myles Murphy coming in, the production on the defensive line was expected to go up in 2020. Let’s just say they did not disappoint.
Bresee was the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, while Murphy had an argument to win the same award. The two freshmen were outstanding as they helped Clemson lead the nation in sacks with 46 and finish second in tackles for loss with 109.
Murphy, who started seven games, led the Tigers with 12 tackles for loss and was tied for second on the team with four sacks.
