Freshmen corners already flashing big potential

The sample size is small, but so far, so good for Kyler McMichael and Mario Goodrich.

According to Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables, the true freshmen cornerbacks have already flashed big potential through the first four practices of fall camp.

“I think both corners have come in and done well,” Venables said following Tuesday’s practice. “They’ve had their moments when they’ve flashed and shown the ability to run and to be physical and have some ball skills, good awareness and good understanding for what we want them to do.”

Both McMichael and Goodrich were regarded as top-10 cornerbacks and top-100 overall prospects in the 2018 recruiting class by at least one major recruiting service.
