CLEMSON – The name Terrell has become synonymous with defensive dominance in the last decade at Clemson.

In 2018, A.J. Terrell, then a cornerback for the Tigers, scored the first touchdown of Clemson’s national championship win over Alabama with a pick-six, capping off his sophomore season in which he recorded three interceptions in 15 starts.

Terrell earned All-ACC honors twice in his three-year career as a Tiger, adding 20 pass breakups and six interceptions along the way. Now an Atlanta Falcon, the veteran finished with a 29-1 record in his Clemson career en route to becoming the 16th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
