Venables says freshman corner has bright future

GREENWOOD, S.C. — Brent Venables was not surprised with Sheridan Jones’ performance in the Orange & White Spring Game this past Saturday.

In fact, he almost expected it from Clemson’s freshman cornerback.

“Sheridan is a really smart, very tough minded ultra-competitive player. It was fun to see,” Clemson’s defensive coordinator said to The Clemson Insider Monday night in Greenwood prior to IPTAY’s Prowl & Growl event.

It was fun to see. Jones, who enrolled at Clemson in January, lead his team with seven tackles. He forced a fumble and returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown, as well.
