Clemson's spring game will kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Death Valley with a new look.

Previously, the roster would be split as evenly as possible, but in a search for continuity with Garrett Riley's new offense, there is a switch.

The first team offense that's largely repped this spring will stick together and pair up with the second team defense on the White team roster, while the first defense will compete alongside the second team offense on the Orange team, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said on local radio this week.

That White team then will be led by quarterback Cade Klubnik, who will have Antonio Williams, Phil Mafah, Jake Briningstool, Brannon Spector, Keith Adams Jr., Cole Turner, Harris Sewell, Tristan Leigh and Blake Miller among more.

The White team defense features Wade Woodaz, DeMonte Capehart, TJ Dudley, Ruke Orhorhoro, Vic Burley, Payton Page, Zaire Patterson and Greg Williams among more.

The Orange team offense will be led by Hunter Helms and Christopher Vizzina at QB, as well as Will Shipley, Noble Johnson, Josh Sapp, Zack Owens, Trent Howard and Will Putnam and more.

The star-studded Orange defensive group has Barrett Carter, Andrew Mukuba, Nate Wiggins, Peter Woods, TJ Parker, Tyler Davis, Toriano Pride Jr., Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Stephiylan Green and Caden Story among more.

Injury rehab has a number of Tigers being held for the game as well, including O-line starters Walker Parks and Marcus Tate, receivers Beaux Collins, Troy Stellato and Adam Randall and defensive end Xavier Thomas among more. Everybody is assigned to a team whether they are playing or not on Clemson's spring game rosters (full rosters below).

Nick Eason is coaching the Orange side, while CJ Spiller commands the White team. NFL All-Pro Dexter Lawrence is the honorary coach for the Orange team, while former Tigers star running back Wayne Gallman will be the honorary coach for the White team.
