4. Returning veterans for 2019 season

This wish won’t really have an effect on the 2018 Clemson football team, but it could certainly impact next year and the program’s success in the near future.

A whole host of Tiger juniors will have NFL decisions to make after this season.

That list includes Trayvon Mullen, Clelin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence, Isaiah Simmons, Tanner Muse, K’Von Wallace, Tre Lamar and Garrett Williams (non-NFL decision).

You could see a ton of veterans return next season or have a completely new secondary and defensive line depending on who leaves.

If you’re a Clemson football fan, I think you want to see a few of these guys, especially in the secondary, return to school for another year.
