Kyle Richardson and Mickey Conn

In our final installment of the full, uncut media sit-downs recently conducted by Clemson's assistant football coaches, we present Kyle Richardson and Mickey Conn. Richardson is in his third season coaching the Tigers' tight ends, and he has a potential star in Jake Briningstool. Conn, who is in his eighth year coaching safeties while also holding the co-defensive coordinator title for a third season, reflects on the depth he has on the back end with RJ Mickens, Khalil Barnes and Tyler Venables ahead of a cluster of young players who should push for playing time. The Tigers began August camp Thursday. They open the 2024 season Aug. 31 against Georgia in Atlanta.
