Noting Clemson's post-spring depth chart - Charleston Post Courier

CLEMSON – Although there were few surprises, Clemson’s post-spring depth chart released Friday adds some clarity to the pecking order when the Tigers break fall camp Aug. As the coaches were well aware, the defense will be full of new faces with only three returning starters: cornerback Mackensie Alexander , free safety Jayron Kearse and nickel back Korrin Wiggins. Goodson , who played strongside linebacker last year, is moving to middle linebacker. Wiggins and Goodson each started six games in 2014. Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd are the listed defensive end starters in place of the departed Vic Beasley and Corey Crawford, while Carlos Watkins and D. J. Reader are filling the void at defensive... Alexander’s new bookend for the time being is Cordrea Tankersley , who was the post-spring starter last year before being supplanted by Garry Peters. The only either-or designation among Clemson’s starters on offense, defense or special teams belongs to strong safety, where T. J. Green and Jadar Johnson are battling to be Robert Smith’s successor.
