This Clemson CB Has ‘Taken a Huge Jump’

This Clemson cornerback has made major strides in preseason camp, according to head coach Dabo Swinney.

Swinney said Thursday following Clemson’s second and final scrimmage of camp that redshirt sophomore corner Branden Strozier has “taken a huge jump.”

Last year, Swinney says, Strozier “was hanging off the cliff, and we’re throwing a lifeline down and he’s just hanging.”

“Now he’s back on top of the land and halfway back to town,” Swinney said. “He’s back in a really good spot.”

Swinney added that he’s “proud” of Strozier, who’s vying for a backup cornerback spot behind starters Avieon Terrell and Ashton Hampton.
