Clemson Defense Takes Another Loss, Korie Rogers Leaves Team

With Beasley, Jarrett, Anthony, Steward, and Peters gone from last year's team, rebuilding the nation's best defense was going to be a tough task. Last week we heard that nickel back Korrin Wiggins would be lost for the season due to a torn ACL. Hopefully he can make a speedy recover and have a big 2016 after a medical redshirt. Fortunately, it looked like Clemson had plenty of depth at linebacker to absorb the blow.

Now we've heard that Korie Rogers has left the football team. Based on reports out of the practice, it sounds like he simply wasn't passionate about it and would rather spend his college years doing other things, which is certainly understandable.
