Despite the departure of unanimous All-American Isaiah Simmons, Dabo Swinney is not losing any sleep worrying about the guy who will replace Simmons at the nickel/SAM position, nor is Swinney concerned about anyone else in Clemson’s linebacker corps.

“I thought Mike Jones really, really had a great spring,” the Tigers’ head coach said. “He’s got a big thumbs up by his name right now. I’m proud of him.
