Clemson Football 2018 Preview The Clemson Tigers return in 2018 with perhaps their most experienced roster under head coach Dabo Swinney. Clemson is loaded at several key positions, none more heralded than the uber-talented defensive line. The Tigers will be looking to settle their quarterback situation as Kelly Bryant is the starter heading into camp and one of the nation’s elite freshmen Trevor Lawrence on his heels. ACC Digital Network host Wes Bryant sits down with Swinney and defensive lineman Clelin Ferrell to get a pulse on the Tigers as they prepare for the 2018 season.
