Clemson football’s biggest question-mark on defense entering 2020 will be secondary.
Entering 2019, the Clemson football secondary was the biggest strength of the Tigers defense. Entering 2020 they need to answer the question – how will they replace the starters lost in the defensive secondary?
Gone are full-time starters A.J. Terrell, Tanner Muse, K’Von Wallace as well as hybrid All-American Isaiah Simmons; both Terrell and Simmons were taken in the Top 20 of the 2020 NFL draft. The Tigers also lost Wallace’s backup, Denzel Johnson.
