Will Clemson miss defensive end Xavier Thomas this season? Sure, it will, but not as much if Myles Murphy continues to play the way he has in fall camp.
The Tigers’ freshman defensive end has been one of the talks of camp. After having a good spring, Murphy has continued his solid play in camp, as he has received praise from his head coach, teammates and defensive coordinator Brent Venables.
“He is a little bit inconsistent, but more good than not,” Venable said.
Murphy is part of young group of defensive linemen who have come in and added depth, versatility and talent to the defensive front.
