Freshman offensive lineman Brayden Jacobs had his coming-out party in Clemson’s dominating 41-10 win over Boston College.
With starting left tackle Tristan Leigh still dealing with a nagging injury, Jacobs heard his number called early on against the Eagles, and the first-year player had by far his best performance of his young career. Jacobs played 65 snaps, and was mostly dominant all night long.
However, as good as he was, Dabo Swinney was pretty clear that Leigh is still the guy at left tackle when he gets back from the injury.
“He’s played one game,” Swinney said of Jacobs during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
