1. Isaiah Simmons

There has been no more impressive individual performer for the 2019 Clemson football team than Isaiah Simmons.

Simmons has been an absolute monster over the course of this season. He leads the Tigers in tackles with 51 (an average of 8.5 per game), sacks (4) and tackles for loss. Simmons also has two pass breakups and a forced fumble on the season.

Tiger fans need to enjoy and appreciate Isaiah Simmons. What he is doing is unprecedented.

Even though teams are intentionally playing away from Simmons, he is still coming up with tackles and making plays. His versatility is what is making this defense so successful.

Next. Studs and Duds from FSU victory. dark

The Clemson football defensive unit hasn’t missed a beat from last year and that has to do greatly with the play and leadership of Isaiah Simmons.
