CLEMSON — An injury and a couple of portal departures have totally changed the complexion of Clemson’s linebackers room heading into the Pinstripe Bowl against Penn State.
With Wade Woodaz out due to an injury, Jeremiah Alexander’s role will potentially increase, although Kobe McCloud is likely to get the start. Alexander has appeared in all 12 games this season, mostly in a reserve role, although he has two starts under his belt.
However, knowing he is likely to see the field more against the Nittany Lions won’t change how Alexander prepares for the Tigers’ season finale.
“I go into each game preparing as if I am the starter, like I am going to go out there and play 80 snaps,” Alexander said.
