Clemson special teams coordinator Danny Pearman says freshman Derion Kendrick has done well returning kicks and is also returning punts for the second-ranked Tigers.
Kendrick came on in the spring and showed off his explosiveness as a wideout. The Tigers are also hoping the Rock Hill, S.C., native can help them in the return game as well.
“Kendrick has done a nice job working as a punter returner and also a kickoff returner,” Pearman said.
Amari Rodgers is also working at punt returns, along with Hunter Renfrow, Will Swinney, Mark Fields and K’Von Wallace. Rodgers appears to be the leader for Clemson at punt return with Renfrow and Kendrick backing him up.
