A Defensive Back
The one thing I, as a Clemson football fan, want to see the Tigers pickup is a defensive back. Whether that be a guy like Troy Pride, who will announce today, or someone else, it would just be nice to get a defensive back.
Why?
Clemson will, most likely, lose Mackenzie Alexander and Jayron Kearse at the end of this season. It would be nice for the Tigers to get another corner back and/0r safety to go ahead and begin replenishing the depth of the position. Now, don’t get me wrong, Clemson stills has talent at the defensive back position. Check out the current roster of defensive backs for next year.
- T.J. Green
- Adrian Baker
- Mark Fields
- Denzel Johnson
- Ryan Carter
- Jardar Johnson
- Van Smith
- Kaleb Chalmers
- Amir Trapp
All of these among others will return next season, but I would still like to see the Tigers land a defensive back to put in the mix. This is not a must, but it would be a nice addition to the 2016 Clemson football recruiting class.
