Following the Sugar Bowl loss last January to Ohio State, Clemson has its sights set on starting fresh with a new season and new opportunities ahead.
For sixth-year linebacker James Skalski, it’s time to show the world what the Tigers’ defense can do.
Clemson’s defense showed promise last season but struggled to build depth. Now the unit is looking to have what could be its best season since greats like Christian Wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence and Austin Bryant all toed the line during the 2018 national championship season.
“I never got to fully play behind that Dexter, Christian, Cle, Austin d-line, so, in a way, this is kind of like a new wave of that hopefully,” Skalski said at the ACC Kickoff.
