Clemson heads into spring practice down three defensive backs that left early for the NFL. While former cornerback Mackensie Alexander and safeties T.J. Green and Jayron Kearse were working out for pro scouts and general managers on Monday, defensive backs coach Mike Reed was looking for their replacements.
Who are their replacements?
Let’s start off at cornerback where the first question is can the Tigers find their replacement for Alexander this spring? The simple answer is yes, though you don’t really replace a guy like Mackensie Alexander. Clemson has some guys in place that are more than capable of filling in and performing well.
