CLEMSON – Almost exactly three years after Misun “Tink” Kelley committed to Clemson as a two-way player, he made his first start for the Tigers solely as a defensive back in a win over Troy last Saturday.
Kelley, a local product who helped nearby D.W. Daniel High School to two state titles as well as a 21-1 record, was originally committed to Clemson as a wide receiver as well as a defender after scoring touchdowns five different ways in high school.
Now, the redshirt sophomore, formerly a three-star recruit, has his sights focused on playing defense.
“When you’re younger, you’re coming in as a freshman, you go obviously want to play offense a little bit more,” Kelley said.
