TigerNet Top-5: Perry was among most productive defenders in Clemson history

Defensive tackle is possibly the deepest position in Clemson’s ACC history and this 1980s standout is among the best.

Michael Dean Perry is Clemson’s all-time leader in tackles for loss (61), which was one more than his famous brother William ‘The Refrigerator’ Perry.

In ranking of the top DTs in the ACC era, Perry edges out the top-5 members unveiled so far in Jim Stuckey (1976-79) and Dexter Lawrence (2016-18).
