The 2021 Clemson football season will be defined by these things

6. The young guns

When we look back at the 2021 season, we’re going to think about the freshmen who stepped up and what they’re going to mean to the program moving forward.

There are a few guys, specifically, that we think will step up and see the field quite a bit:

  • RB Will Shipley
  • OG Marcus Tate
  • LB/S Barrett Carter
  • WR Dacari Collins
  • WR Beaux Collins
  • DB Andrew Mukuba

This is a talented freshman class and many of them have already made a splash.

Don’t be surprised when Will Shipley and Marcus Tate are solidified starters and when some of these other guys mentioned– and maybe even a couple others like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Nathaniel Wiggins– see the field quite a bit.
