Heading into the 2022 season, ClemsonWire will look at multiple players on the Clemson football roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school and what role they will play for head coach Dabo Swinney this season.
For this profile, we will take a closer look at linebacker Trenton Simpson.
Simpson enters his third season with the Tigers following a big sophomore season where he recorded the third most tackles on the team (78) and started twelve of Clemson’s thirteen games last season.
The linebacker has continued to rack up the preseason honors including being named to the Chuck Bednarik Award, Bronko Nagurski Award, Butkus Award and Lombardi Award Watch Lists as well being named a preseason First-Team All-ACC member, preseason All-American and the No. 38 player in America by ESPN.
Here’s a snapshot look at Trenton Simpson.
