CLEMSON — It’s no secret that safety play was a weakness for the Clemson defense in 2025, and the faces lining up at those positions next season will certainly look different.
Even if Khalil Barnes and Rircado Jones hadn’t decided to transfer out, Tom Allen was going shopping for safety help in the portal. And help he found. The Tigers not only added two starting caliber players at the position in Corey Myrick and Jerome Carter, but both were two of the highest-graded safeties in the portal, per Pro Football Focus.
Make no mistake, both of those guys are going to play, and they’re going to play a lot.
