CLEMSON — Clemson’s linebackers should look a little more familiar this season.
Why?
Ben Boulware is back running the unit. Head coach Dabo Swinney hired Boulware as a full-time assistant coach back in January. When defensive coordinator Tom Allen came on board, Boulware was promoted to linebackers coach, a position he is very familiar with.
Boulware spent four seasons leading the Tigers’ defensive units from 2013-’14. He quarterbacked some of the best defenses in Clemson history.
The 2014 unit led the nation in total defense, while in 2015 the Tigers’ defense played a big role in their run to the national championship game.
