Veterans, young talent at safety seek to bolster Clemson secondary

The Clemson safeties group is set to have a breakout year in 2021, returning all pieces to the puzzle on a defense that ranked in the top-10 nationally in interceptions last year. Clemson safeties coach Mickey Conn knows that his guys could have a standout season led by super senior Nolan Turner and more veterans such as Lannden Zanders.

Last year Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney sung some high praises for his QB of the secondary Turner, saying he has a chance to become the best safety who's come out of Clemson during his time at the helm of the program.
