A dynamic two-way player from nearby Daniel High School, Misun “Tink” Kelley began his Clemson career as a wide receiver but is now mixing in with the first-team defense as a defensive back.
The 5-foot-9, 185-pound redshirt sophomore had a pick-six in Clemson’s first scrimmage of fall camp this past Saturday, and head coach Dabo Swinney said afterward that the Tigers believe Kelley has found the best position for him at DB.
“Tink’s a good football player. … Tink has really come on, and we feel like we’ve got him in the right spot,” Swinney said.
Kelley, who enrolled at Clemson in the summer of 2023, caught five passes for 27 yards in 81 offensive snaps across nine games in 2024.
