People forget Cordrea Tankersley is not the only senior returning in the Clemson secondary this year. Though he has started just one game in his career, Jadar Johnson brings plenty of experience to the Tigers’ strong safety position.
Johnson, an Orangeburg, South Carolina native, has played in 39 games in his Clemson career. He has recorded four career interceptions, second on the team to Tankersley’s five.
“He is a senior now. He has seen everything,” Clemson defensive backs coach Mike Reed said earlier this week. “He has played in every football game so he knows.”
The only thing Johnson does not know is how to be the guy.
