CLEMSON — Clemson freshmen will continue to play a major role as the Tigers hit the home stretch, with just three regular-season games remaining.
The freshmen were on display in Saturday’s victory over Virginia Tech, with freshman receivers Bryant Wesco and T.J. Moore continuing their solid play. But it was linebacker Sammy Brown, offensive lineman Elyjah Thurmon and defensive back Ashton Hampton who stole the show.
Thurmon subbed in for injured left tackle Tristan Leigh, Brown started at middle linebacker and led the team with eight tackles, and Hampton had an interception to thwart a Hokie drive.
