Burburija Steps Up for Clemson Defense | Clemson Tigers Football News

Clemson’s defensive line is rebuilding after losing three NFL-bound stars, including first-round pick Peter Woods — but a rising junior, Andy Burburija, could be the answer.

Expect big minutes — and maybe even a starting role — if he can adapt quickly. The Tigers’ front seven has a lot riding on him.
