For Clemson's sophomore cornerback, Jeadyn Lukus, the path to gridiron glory has been paved with obstacles, notably, growing pains and injuries. But on Saturday in Death Valley, he showcased his resilience, proving that adversity can't keep a good Tiger down.

While the anticipation and excitement for the 2023 college football season at Clemson seems to revolve around Garrett Riley’s new offense, the Tiger secondary has been on the frontlines against the new air raid attack.
