Another position that may have some depth issues will be at linebacker.

Clemson will be losing Kendall Joseph, Jalen Williams, Judah Davis and J.D. Davis off that two-deep. They also could potentially lose Isaiah Simmons and Tre Lamar should the two elect to enter the NFL Draft early.

Now, the Tigers certainly have some talented guys waiting in the wings, including players like Baylon Spector, Shaq Smith, Chad Smith, Jamie Skalski and others, but it’s clear that the freshmen coming in are going to be able to compete for depth and playing time.

Vonta Bentley is as physical and aggressive as they come. I love watching the 4-star linebacker from Alabama play and you won’t be keeping him off the field very long.
