The Top 10 Returning Players for the Clemson Tigers in 2024 Barrett Carter, Peter Woods, and others
In 2024, Clemson’s roster will be full of young potential, and the Tigers’ chances of winning the ACC title can be increased by these top 10 returning players.
In 2023, the Clemson Tigers’ season fell short of their expected high standards. Their youthful skill did, however, exhibit signs that the squad can advance in 2024. These players, who are returning to Death Valley with a tonne of talent, might have a big influence for Clemson in the next college football season.
Analyzing the returning players at every school is a difficult task in the transfer portal area. As such, we’ve included transfer-portal athletes on each team’s roster page to open spring camp in addition to the rostered players from last year.
Named to the CFN 2023 Third-Team All-ACC Defense, Khalil Barnes had an outstanding freshman season playing predominantly from the slot. While the Tigers’ secondary didn’t stoke fear into opponents, Barnes was a bright spark expected to set alight in 2024.
The Clemson defensive back had an extremely productive season, playing in 13 games and starting seven a year ago. With 38 total tackles, five for a loss, one sack, three interceptions, six passes defended, and a forced fumble for a touchdown, he had a record-setting year under Swinney’s tenure.
With talent leaving for the NFL, DeMonte Capehart, who will begin his fifth year at Clemson in 2024, is expected to have a breakout season. By the end of the 2023 season, the defensive tackle for the Tigers showed exactly what he could bring to the field in the autumn. He became a genuine threat to opponents.
If Capehart can keep himself on track, then he has the potential to explode in a more prominent role. That is because ESPN reported that Capehart was arrested in February, which led to Clemson suspending him from the team while investigations were ongoing. However, he was reinstated to the team a few weeks later.
