CLEMSON – With the new redshirt rule in place, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has gotten a glimpse of what the future holds for several key freshmen.
The new NCAA rule allows players to play in a maximum of four games and still retain their redshirt and Swinney and the Clemson coaching staff have used the rule to their maximum benefit.
Linebacker Mike Jones and Jake Venables, defensive ends K.J. Henry and Justin Mascoll, offensive lineman Jordan McFadden and defensive tackle Darnell Jefferies are all redshirting despite playing sparingly in 2018.
