Redshirt freshman Tanner Muse feels like he opened the door of opportunity during spring practice prior to the 2016 season, and after making an impact for the Tigers on special teams, he hopes to break down that door as a sophomore next year.
The safety from Belmont, N.C., served Clemson well on several special-team units this season while also seeing some action at safety in a reserve capacity and showcasing his potential.
Muse blocked a punt in the national championship game against Alabama, recorded eight tackles on special teams during the regular season, logged 22 tackles in 99 snaps at safety and returned an interception for a touchdown against Syracuse.
