In today’s episode of Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas breaks down why Clemson’s 2025 season could hinge on one of the most overlooked positions: punter. Dabo Swinney says the Tigers need someone “consistently good, not occasionally great” in a three-way battle for the starting job, and Morgan explains why a single bad punt could decide matchups against LSU, Florida State, or Miami.
Then, we shift to defense where Wade Woodaz looks ready to become Clemson’s 2025 defensive MVP. His blend of elite production, leadership, and versatility under new DC Tom Allen could define the team’s identity.
Finally, Morgan spotlights true freshmen already forcing their way into fall camp conversations, including RB Gideon Davidson, LB C.J. Kubah-Taylor, OL Gavin Blanchard, and OT Brayden Jacobs. These newcomers aren’t just the future—they’re ready to contribute right now.
