Swinney has no concerns about LB corps

Despite the departure of unanimous All-American Isaiah Simmons, Dabo Swinney is not losing any sleep worrying about the guy who will replace Simmons at the nickel/SAM position, nor is Swinney concerned about anyone else in Clemson’s linebacker corps.

Swinney is confident in the unit and liked what he saw from the linebackers this spring, especially Mike Jones, the redshirt sophomore expected to fill Simmons’ spot.

“I thought Mike Jones really, really had a great spring,” the Tigers’ head coach said. “He’s got a big thumbs up by his name right now. I’m proud of him.
