This time last year, Lannden Zanders was a true freshman going through his first fall camp at Clemson, and he was somewhat unsure of himself out on the field as he tried to learn Brent Venables’ complex defense and get adjusted to the speed of the college game.
Now, a year later, Zanders feels like a much different player with a season of experience under his belt, and the sophomore safety is currently penciled in as a starter in the Tigers’ secondary entering the 2020 season.
“Just comparing myself from last year to this year, it’s a big difference,” Zanders told reporters Thursday.
