3. Tremayne Anchrum

Tremayne Anchrum is listed as the lone starter at the right tackle spot.

That right tackle position was probably the shakiest spot on the inconsistent offensive line a year ago. Neither he nor Sean Pollard was able to consistently get the job done.

Now, with Pollard seemingly moving to guard, it will be up to Anchrum to give a better performance in 2018.

If he can, Clemson’s offense will benefit from it greatly. If he can’t, we could see a lot of the same inconsistencies this season.
