If you know Clemson football, you know the linebackers are the soul of this defense. This spring, that tradition is alive and well. Clemson defensive coordinator Tom Allen is getting exactly what he wants from this group, and you can see it in the way Sammy Brown is flying around at MIKE and Kobe McCloud is locking things down at WILL. The gap between the starters and everyone else is finally starting to show, and that's exactly what Tiger fans have been waiting for.
“Linebacker kind of sticks out to me as really improved as a collective group and as a group that we know needed to really improve a lot,” Allen noted.
