Clemson has decided to move on from cornerback Derion Kendrick.
With Kendrick moving in and out of Dabo Swinney’s doghouse the last couple of years, the Tigers’ head coach had enough. As reported, Kendrick was dismissed from the football program, The Clemson Insider confirmed Sunday morning.
What does this mean for Clemson, and in particular a secondary that was blamed for the Tigers’ issues on defense last season?
If there is a silver lining in all of this, it happened just a few days into spring practice. It gives defensive coordinator Brent Venables and cornerbacks coach Mike Reed an opportunity to move guys into Kendrick’s spot and get quality reps.
