CLEMSON — Week 1 of the 2023 college football season is here, and Clemson football has set the depth chart for its season opener Sept. 4 at Duke (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).

There are two new big names in offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and starting quarterback Cade Klubnik. But many of the Tigers' starters from last season are back for more. There aren't too many unfamiliar names among the starters on the depth chart.

A few freshmen are in notable spots. Peter Woods is a co-starter at both defensive tackle spots alongside veterans Tyler Davis and Ruke Orhorhoro. Khalil Barnes is the No. 2 nickelback, T.J. Parker is a No. 2 defensive end, and Greenville High School product Tyler Brown is a No. 2 receiver and No. 2 return man.
