Freshman year felt ‘like a movie’ for Bentley
In his first year at Clemson, freshman linebacker LaVonta Bentley got to play for and travel with a team that went 14-1, won an ACC Championship, beat Ohio State in a College Football Playoff semifinal and made it to the national championship game.
Even though it was a redshirt season for Bentley, he enjoyed it and feels fortunate to be in the position he is in.
“I’d say it’s like a movie,” Bentley said of his first year with the Tigers. “You know, it’s everyone’s dream. They want to be on this level, and it’s not easy to be here. So, I’m lucky to be here, I’m blessed, and I like it. I’m having fun.”
