The 2023 ACC Football Kickoff is behind us as we are that much closer to the college football season.
The Tigers‘ defense should be excellent in this upcoming season, with multiple top talents from last season’s team returning to the program for a chance at winning a national championship. Star defensive tackle Tyler Davis was one of those players who returned to Clemson to better himself and pursue a national championship.
Discussing the Clemson defense, Davis had strong words for two players’ top players on the team.
”We’ve got the best linebacker duo in the nation,” Davis said of Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Barrett Carter.
Davis isn’t the only person to think so. 247Sports recently released an article discussing the top duos in college football, with Trotter and Carter the No.5 duo in all of college football. They were the top linebacker duo mentioned.
Last season, this duo combined for 169 tackles and 24 tackles for loss as two of the top performers in Clemson’s strong defense. 2023 should be even better for the duo, who are another year more experienced.
If things go well, Clemson could have two linebackers selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.
