The extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA in response to the pandemic has created interesting dynamics in locker rooms across the country.
Clemson calls its group of veterans the Sixth-Year Club that consists of defensive end Regan Upshaw, safety Nolan Turner, punter Will Spiers, linebacker James Skalski and running back Darien Rencher.
Rencher joined the ACC Network’s Packer and Durham Show this past week and talked about how different it is to have seniors who are actually young bucks on the team.
“It’s six, me and Skalski came in together, it’s funny because the seniors now are still like our little bros because they’re two years younger than us,” Rencher said.
