Clemson released its unofficial depth chart on Friday ahead of the Gator Bowl, and there are significant changes compared to when the Tigers last played a game.
One of the most noteworthy changes to the depth chart is in the secondary. With Andrew Mukuba transferring to Texas, R.J. Mickens and Jalyn Phillips are now listed as the starting strong safety and free safety spots, respectively. As for the starting cornerbacks, Clemson will roll out with two true freshmen starting on the outside, with Avieon Terrell and Shelton Lewis getting the nod.
There are also significant changes to the front seven, as Kobe McCloud and Wade Woodaz are listed as potential starters at middle linebacker in light of Jeremiah Trotter Jr. declaring for the NFL draft earlier this month.
Offensively, Troy Stellato and Adam Randall are listed as the starting wide receivers on the perimeter with Beaux Collins’ departure to Notre Dame.
Clemson will play Kentucky in the Gator Bowl on Dec. 29 at noon.
Here is the Tigers’ full depth chart:
