Clemson true freshman offensive lineman Brayden Jacobs had a tough series during the eighth-ranked Tigers’ 27-16 win over Troy on Saturday at Death Valley.
With starting left tackle Tristan Leigh out, Jacobs came in for Clemson at left tackle early in the second quarter. The 6-foot-7, 355-pounder was called for a holding penalty on his first snap and also allowed a sack a few plays later.
But Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney isn’t worried about the talented frosh.
“Brayden, man – y’all don’t worry about Brayden,” Swinney said during his postgame press conference. “He’s getting a chance to play, and obviously he gave up a sack, had a couple missed plays there.
