When it comes to defense, who will...

You miss the most? And likewise, who are you most excited to see on the field in 2015?
Just watched clips from the Scar and OU games. We were blessed with some outstanding players. This senior class should always be praised for bringing back that dominant Clemson D that we've been missing for so many years.
I'm going to miss all of these seniors. What great ambassadors of Clemson, both on and off the field. That said, I'm going to miss Mr. Grady Jarrett II the most. The passion and chip on the shoulder attitude he played with was so much fun to watch. He busted his ace every play and fought hard until the whistle was blown. He was a remarkable college football player and I'm looking forward to him proving his worth in the NFL. Keeping on battling, Grady!
Who will shine in 2015? I'm torn between Boulware and Alexander. I think both are studs and both might be my favs on d next season. Boulware is tough as nails and really started to thrive at lb when he got moved into the starting role. And Alexander, hard to believe that cat was only a freshman last season. Love the confidence and coverage skills he has. So those are my co-favorite defensive players for 2015.
What say ye, T-Net? Who will you miss the most from 2014 on D and who are you most excited to see play D for your Clemson Tigers in 2015?

I'm gonna miss Jarrett and Anthony the most personally. The two that I can't wait to see turned loose are Register and Pagano.

Will always remember the Louisville game and his TD score that gave him the sack record at Clemson. I bout jumped out of my skin watching it due to the excitement!

He set the tone and allowed others to reap the benefits by being so disruptive in the middle. Excited for Carlos Watkins now that he should be fully recovered and back from his car accident. He is no GJ, but will be make a name for himsefl. Also extremely excited to see the youngsters in Korie Rogers and Chris Register - I think they are going to be beasts!

Totally agree but I am biased, Grady has been my favorite since the day he set foot on campus. I have always been a root underdog type of guy and he showed heart and determination can make up for physical shortcomings. As far as next year goes, I want to see Shaq Lawson get his shot of being the man on the edge. The pass rush is where I see the defense lacking from the past 2 years. I am anxious to see if Lawson is the answer or who the next man up will be.

Two guys you don't hear often enough

Peters and Smith were really fun to watch this year. Both had been decent players but no one saw the kind of years they both had. Always great to see guys have a very special last year.
Grady, Vic, Anthony are exceptional, as were all the guys on defense.
Kearse and Lawson are going to be huge for the defense next year but football is the ultimate team sport so we have to get all 11 playing like this year's team.
