Clemson’s official depth chart for the Georgia Tech game
As game day fast approaches, Clemson football released its depth chart Tuesday for their Labor Day opener against Georgia Tech.
The hype surrounding freshman tackle Blake Miller was reassured as Miller is officially listed as the Tigers’ starting right tackle for Monday’s opener, with previous starter Walker Parks shifting over to start at right guard. He will be the first true freshman to get the start at offensive tackles for the Tigers since Mitch Hyatt back in 2015.
At wide receiver, it looks like the Tigers still have some decisions to be made. Two receivers that have been dealing with injuries in camp, E.J. Williams and Beaux Collins, were listed as co-starters.
Co-starters look to be an early trend for the Tigers as on defense; there are multiple units listed with co-starters.
