Clemson standout defensive end Clelin Ferrell spoke the media following his team's 35-6 win over Duke on Saturday night.

TigerNet's David Hood asked Ferrell if there was a possibility of him returning for his senior season to Clemson.

"Yea for sure. I haven't made a decision yet," he said. "Whatever people assume, you can't assume because they aren't me. Last season people thought I was going to leave. At the end of the day, it is a decision that I have to make. I haven't made that decision yet. I'm focusing on the present right now."

Most NFL mock drafts have him in the first 20 picks of the 2019 NFL draft.

Individually, he had five tackles including two sacks and a pass-breakup against Duke.
