CLEMSON — Clemson returns a ton of production for the 2025 season, and on both sides of the ball, but that doesn’t mean there are no holes to fill.
One of the biggest resides in the secondary, where RJ Mickens served as the veteran presence among the safeties a season ago. Mickens, who was taken by the Chargers in the sixth round of the NFL Draft in April, spent five years playing for the Tigers, earning All-ACC recognition twice over his final three seasons.
Mickens’ 85 tackles last season were the third-most on the team. He also had six tackles for loss, seven pass breakups and two interceptions.
