Clemson redshirt junior Scott Pagano is doing a little boxing in Central to help improve his technique as a defensive tackle.
Pagano feels that his feet and hands have become quicker as a result of his work.
“I feel like it’s translated to the field in camp,” Pagano said after Clemson’s practice on Friday.
When Clemson and Auburn step into the proverbial ring at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Sept. 3, Pagano believes Clemson’s defensive line will be just fine in the fight despite recent injuries to defensive end Austin Bryant and defensive tackle Carlos Watkins.
“We can all play ball,” Pagano said of the defensive line.
