Clemson’s Quiet Rise Ahead of Scrimmage | Clemson Tigers Football News

Clemson’s fall camp is heating up as they gear for their second scrimmage this Thursday, with a quiet but potent energy building around the team — especially after skipping the preseason AP poll for the first time since 2011, the year Chad Morris took over as offensive coordinator. On defense, Tom Allen enters his sophomore season with a revamped secondary, adding three transfer starters to fix last year’s glaring pass defense issues, anchored by standout cornerback Ashton Hampton. Offensively, while questions linger, Morris’ return has sparked optimism with a promising skill group — now it’s about translating that potential into physical, consistent play on the field, starting with their road opener. Early signs show promise as new and returning players begin to gel, and the coaching staff is laser-focused on establishing a tough identity early — proving they’re more than just a preseason underdog.
