CLEMSON – New NCAA rules allow players who are using a redshirt year to see action in as many as four games, and two of Clemson’s redshirts candidates made an impact last Saturday in the Tigers 41-7 victory over NC State.
Linebackers Mike Jones Jr. and Jake Venables and defensive end Justin Mascoll each made their season debut in the win. Jones got in on three tackles and Venables tallied a stop as well. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables wasn’t ready for them to play, but late lobbying from the players allowed them to make their Clemson debuts.
