Watkins and Reeder will both play a lot with this move

Reeder may start as back up at NT. Could this also mean Shaq Lawson is having problems getting in school?

Great pick up for the ends - critical for the depth chart.

Considering he'll have a full camp to work on it under a new system, everybody could win with this.

Great Move by Coach Venables . I've wondered in the past

why this hasn't happened. Ricky Sapp would've been one heck of an LB. We've had LBs that had speed and were undersized and would've been better suited for playing a DB position. This type of move should've happened numerous times over the years with very talented players that should've been utilized more effectively, especially when CTB was coach. Great move

No offense taken, I'm always open for polite and constructive debates or comments, which you were ! I have to disagree, Sapp had a lot of speed and at 240 was an undersized DE. If I'm not mistaken, he's being used as a DE in the pros now. He's just one example, I could list 10-20 players that could've been utilized better when CTB was coach. No disespect for CTB, I like the man and he did a lot for our university, a lot of POSITIVE. Still, a lot of players would've been better suited for other positions... another downside for CTB, why I admire his loyalty to people, he kept family members as coaches and other coaches that shouldn't have been coaching on@ Clemson. I'm glad we finally have a coaching staff that's on par with what our players deserve and need to play @ this level and @ a university like Clemson. Great things are happening now, I'm really excited about the future of out football and basketball programs

While yes he was a little undersized but if we played a 3-4 I would agree that him playing a stand up role as an OLB wouldve been best but in Koenings scheme he was best suited for bandit end than an inside lb...Yes CTB made a lot of coaching mistakes but he also got clemson up off the mat after 98 and relevant again but we needed a change in the head spot and attitude and commitment from our leadership to be one of the best again...which wasnt there under Bowden

I am surprised he was ever at DT. Just never struck me as one. Hope he makes the switch easily
