When Clemson landed Vic Burley in the 2023 class, it was seen as a huge recruiting win.
Burley was a five-star at one service, a consensus Top 100 prospect. During his final high school season, he earned 5A Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Burley was also an early enrollee and, with those credentials, expected to make an immediate impact.
However, things don’t always go according to plan. Injuries hampered Burley during his debut season, and he would ultimately redshirt. Last season, it was much of the same, with Burley logging just 92 snaps.
Heading into his third season with the program, not only is Burley now fully healthy, but he’s also earning the trust of the coaching staff.
