Five Clemson players to keep an eye on against Georgia Tech

Clemson football is finally here, and as you watch the game on Monday night, keep an eye on these players to make an impact against Georgia Tech.

Clemson will play its first game of the 2022 season on Monday, as the Tigers face off against Georgia Tech at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Coming off a 10-3 season in 2021, head coach Dabo Swinney and the Tigers will look to return to the College Football Playoff after missing it last season for the first time since the 2014-2015 season.

The first step in reaching that pedestal is defeating the Yellow Jackets.

Unlike in years past, Clemson struggled against Georgia Tech in 2021 when the Tigers came away with a 14-8 victory.

Clemson is a 23.5-point favorite to win this year’s matchup, according to Tipico Sportsbook, but as with any college football team in week one, there is a lot of uncertainty and questions for Clemson.

That being said, here are five players on the Tigers’ roster that spectators should watch closely against the Yellow Jackets.

Clemson’s official depth chart for the Georgia Tech game

Clemson’s first depth chart for their matchup against Georgia Tech has been released.

As game day fast approaches, Clemson football released its depth chart Tuesday for their Labor Day opener against Georgia Tech.

The hype surrounding freshman tackle Blake Miller was reassured as Miller is officially listed as the Tigers’ starting right tackle for Monday’s opener, with previous starter Walker Parks shifting over to start at right guard. He will be the first true freshman to get the start at offensive tackles for the Tigers since Mitch Hyatt back in 2015.

At wide receiver, it looks like the Tigers still have some decisions to be made. Two receivers that have been dealing with injuries in camp, E.J. Williams and Beaux Collins, were listed as co-starters.

Co-starters look to be an early trend for the Tigers as on defense; there are multiple units listed with co-starters.
