CLEMSON - While injuries are never a good thing, it has given several Clemson players, such as true freshman safety Khalil Barnes, a chance to play multiple positions and develop as a multifaceted player.
“We have a lot of guys that can play a lot of different positions,” Barnes said. “We’ve just to keep working and getting used to it to where we can play as fast as we can at our primary positions and our secondary ones too.”
For a rookie like Barnes, this can be difficult. But, for someone who usually plays strong safety, he is getting a deeper understanding of what it entails to play free safety, as he has had to play both positions this season due to various injuries.
