CLEMSON — Fumbling the ball might be one of the worst things an offense can do, but for the squad on the other side, that’s been the goal every single game.
Newly named Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist Avieon Terrell currently leads the Tigers in forced fumbles this season. The junior cornerback has accounted for three of Clemson’s five forced fumbles so far this year. Entering the year, he’d only forced three in two seasons combined.
Through grit and notable effort, Terrell has become a key piece on the defense during a challenging stretch. Even with all he’s accomplished this year, he is still playing for more.
