Count Clemson cornerback Mario Goodrich among those who have been impressed by one of the Tigers’ newcomers in the secondary.
Freshman defensive back Andrew Mukuba has caught the eye of Goodrich this spring and stood out again during Friday’s scrimmage.
“I love Andrew. Andrew had a big day today,” Goodrich said following the scrimmage.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says the 6-foot, 185-pound Mukuba has the versatility to play either safety position, as well as nickel and dime, and can also line up at cornerback if the Tigers need him to.
With Clemson having only six scholarship cornerbacks – one down from where the Tigers want to be as far as the roster goes – Swinney has said the Tigers were planning to cross-train a couple of safeties at corner, and it appears Mukuba is one of those safeties who got some work at corner during the scrimmage.
