Trenton Simpson is living his dream. In his first game at Memorial Stadium, the freshman got his first career sack, one of four on the day as top-ranked Clemson shut out The Citadel 49-0 on Saturday.
It was the Tigers’ first shutout since blanking Ohio State, 31-0, in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl.
Simpson credited his mom, the rest of his family, his teammates, and defensive coordinator Brent Venables for starting his time off at Clemson on such a high note. The linebacker also credits his preparation as being the key to help him grow into the Tigers’ defense.
