Darnell Jefferies didn’t play a lot last season, but he watched, and he listened, and he learned. Ever humble, he’s ready to take his place along Clemson’s defensive line.

The 6-2, 285-pounder out of Covington (GA) played two snaps in the Tigers’ blowout victory over Louisville last season, his lone appearance in a game on the year. Jefferies knew heading into the season that he would probably redshirt, and he made the most of the year.

“It's been great for me, just learning the ins and outs of the defensive line and alignments and what to get better at while I am doing my redshirt year,” Jefferies told TigerNet.
