3. Tyler Davis

Freshman DT Tyler Davis has been nothing short of extraordinary over the course of this season.

He earned All-ACC honors and was named a freshman All-American. As Clemson prepares to stop that prolific LSU offensive attack, Davis is going to be an intricate part in the Tigers’ game plan.

Expect Clemson to show a lot of 3-man front and that could mean we see Davis lined up on the interior and even on the exterior at times in that formation. He’s going to be tasked with stopping the run and getting pressure on Burrow.

Look for the freshman to have a big performance and come away with a nice night.
