CLEMSON – RJ Mickens wants to see what the top of the mountain looks like.
After some consideration and talking it over with his father, former NFL defensive back Ray Mickens, Clemson safety RJ Mickens decided to return for his fifth year with the Tigers, and he will be an important piece of the secondary for Clemson going into this upcoming season.
Part of his reasoning for returning is getting to the playoffs and the National Championship.
“I just felt like my first year when we went to the playoffs, I didn’t really contribute, and I felt like that’s something I always wanted to do, play in the playoffs, go to the top of the mountain, and I feel like we have the team to do that,” Mickens said.
