Special teams is an area that has been a bit of a wild card for Clemson over the last couple of years.
The unit was arguably a major reason Clemson lost the National Championship Game to Alabama two seasons ago, allowing a touchdown on a kick return and not covering a well-executed onside kick.
However, Greg Huegel has been somewhat of a revelation at kicker the last two years. He should have another quality season in 2017-18.
Although Huegel is just a junior and has a capable backup in Alex Spence, it’s always good to have a highly ranked recruit on the roster, especially one that comes from in state.
