It’s easy to assume Clemson will struggle at offensive tackle this season.
Joe Gore is the most experienced tackle on the roster, and he has just three career starts. Mitch Hyatt, a true freshman, is expected to start at left tackle with fellow true freshman Jake Fruhmorgen backing up Gore at right tackle.
Guards Erica Mac Lain, one career start, and redshirt freshman Taylor Hearn have been crossed trained to help out with depth. But Clemson offensive co-coordinator Tony Elliott isn’t concerned, though. Why?
“When we are done with camp, they will not have seen two better defensive ends in the country,” the Clemson coach said.
