In one of the more surprising moves this off-season, Mike Jones stunned everyone when he transferred out of Clemson to LSU. It was a move really no one saw coming.
But the Tigers have to move on and it is time for the next man to step up. That guy is sophomore linebacker Trenton Simpson, who started over Jones in the Sugar Bowl and two other games as well when Jones was out nursing a hamstring injury.
The Charlotte native recorded 32 tackles as a true freshman. He also had 6.5 tackles for loss, four sacks and forced a fumble.
