Defensive MVP: Clelin Ferrell

Honestly, I’d love to nominate the entire Clemson defensive line.

Kendall Joseph, Tre Lamar and Isaiah Simmons could also be considered for this award.

In the end, though, I have to go with Clelin Ferrell because of his consistency and dominance through all six games. Ferrell has six sacks through the six games and has been an important part of what the Tigers have wanted to do up front on that defensive line.

He is proving to NFL scouts that he is worthy of a top-10 pick and will only become more motivated as the season progresses.
