Trust the Process: LaVonta Bentley making most of his opportunities

Trust the process.

Redshirt freshman linebacker LaVonta Bentley showed up on Clemson’s campus in 2019 and quickly realized he had a long way to go before becoming an impact performer in defensive coordinator Brent Venables’ complex defense. Instead of letting it get him down, he simply lowered his head and went to work and trusted the process.

That hard work is beginning to pay off. Bentley has played just 53 snaps this season but has 11 total tackles and a forced fumble to show for his efforts. That includes two tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble in the win over Pitt last Saturday.
