CLEMSON – Tyler Venables briefly considered going with his dad Brent to the University of Oklahoma, but once he realized how much he loves Clemson, there was no way he was going to Norman.
Brent Venables took over as the head coach of the Sooners last December, and many wondered if his two sons – linebacker Jake and safety Tyler – would want to continue to play for their dad and leave. Jake battled injuries and decided to retire from playing, but Tyler knew he still had two seasons to play, and he loved playing for Brent.
