Albert Huggins quietly started to come on for Clemson during the 2016 season.
The sophomore defensive tackle played in all but one game, logging 200 snaps during the regular season with 19 tackles, three tackles for loss and three sacks. He had his best game in one of Clemson’s biggest games, versus then-No. 3 Louisville on Oct. 1, when he recorded four tackles and sacked eventual Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson twice.
With All-American defensive tackle Carlos Watkins moving on, Huggins sees an opportunity for his role to increase next season.
“Yes it is (an opportunity),” Huggins told The Clemson Insider at Clemson’s media day before the Fiesta Bowl in December.
