Here are some new players who stood out for Dabo Swinney in the Clemson football spring game and some who Tigers fans may have forgotten about.
CLEMSON — Clemson football 's spring game introduced fans to new faces and reminded them of old ones. The Orange team won 23-3 vs. the White team on March 28 at Memorial Stadium.
Here are Clemson 's new additions or players you may have forgotten who stood out during the spring game. London Merritt, DE The Colorado transfer had four tackles, including three for loss and 2. 5 sacks, and a quarterback hurry.
To protect quarterbacks, plays were blown dead when a defender got near one and ruled a sack/tackle. London Merritt started behind Will Heldt and Jahiem Lawson but showcased his speed and power against Clemson 's second- and third-team offensive line. Merritt has three years of eligibility remaining but has shown he can be a contributor when he rotates into games.
Vic Burley, DT Vic Burley was a four-star recruit who never found his footing at Clemson. He missed the 2023 season with knee injuries and made one start over the next two seasons as Peter Woods, DeMonte Capehart and Stephiylan Green all passed him. With that trio gone, Burley has a chance to live up to his high-school billing.
