CLEMSON – Ryan Carter found out he was moving from cornerback to safety before the start of spring practice a few weeks ago, but the athletic Carter has not only accepted the challenge, he’s embraced it.
Carter totaled 20 tackles and a couple pass breakups over 233 snaps last season, mostly at corner and nickel. However, the Tigers lost three safeties following the loss to Alabama in the College Football National Championship – T.J. Green and Jayron Kearse elected to head to the NFL and Jefferie Gibson decided to transfer.
