The 2018 Clemson football season is less than a month away from kickoff. Today, let’s take a look at 10 X-Factors on the Tigers’ roster for the upcoming year.

Clemson football has a ton of talent.

We all recognize that talent and believe it’s why the Tigers have a great chance to not only repeat for a fourth time as ACC Champion, but compete for a National Championship.

When looking at how this roster is built, though, there are several guys that stand out as “X-Factors.” They are players that need to have big seasons or maybe their performance—good or bad—will affect the team greatly.

Maybe they are guys that can elevate a position group.

No matter what the case, here are 10 X-Factors for Clemson football in 2018. When making this list, we did not include any freshmen as a way to highlight some of the veterans that aren’t being talked about as much as they probably deserve.
