The Clemson secondary is coming off a subpar 2022 season and co-defensive coordinator/safeties coach Mickey Conn said they have to be better in 2023.

The Clemson defense had four sacks, nine tackles for loss, and seven quarterback hurries against Louisville to help lead the Tigers to a 31-16 win. Next up is a Miami Hurricanes' offense that scored a team conference game-high 35 points in the win over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

Clemson has hosted many commits and prospects at every home game this season and many have left Death Valley impressed. One recruit with Clemson on his final schools' list called the game day experience 'different' and may have the Tigers on top now.

“Defense has been amazing, everybodys flying around.  Everyone is doing their part, and not trying to do too much.”

Take a listen to what the players had to say after Clemson's win over South Carolina State.

Following Clemson's spring game on Saturday, Joseph Ngata said he feels 'fine', and Head Coach Dabo Swinney noted that if he's healthy, the sophomore wideout can make 'a million' plays for the Tigers in 2021.
