CLEMSON – The Clemson coaching staff knew they wanted to get both Justyn Ross and Tee Higgins on the field at the same time during the College Football Playoff, and they went to four wide receiver sets and dropped the tight end in an effort to get Ross on the field.
The plan this spring is to find Ross a permanent home on the field. The coaches want to leave Higgins at the iconic 9-man spot (manned by everyone from Sammy Watkins to Nuk Hopkins to Mike Williams) and slide Ross over to the 2-man spot on the opposite side of the field.
