This is not correct. Skalski does not return and neither does their FS, Nolan Turner. They have a couple of other guys that can go to the NFL, but I don't know if they decided to go or stay. They were very young lasts season defensively, though. Skalski will be a hard one to replace. He was their QB on defense lining people up. When he went out against Ohio State it became very evident how much he was missed as they were looking confused on defense and had a hard time lining up. If they have somebody that can learn this, they will be in decent shape, but Skalski is a huge loss on defense. On offense Lyn-J Dixon will be a good replacement for Etienne. Not as good, but still very good.
Both Skalski and Turner have opted to return under the "extra" year the NCAA is granting this year. Clemson is losing Mike Jones (OLB) to the portal as a graduate transfer and he was technically a starter, but Trenton Simpson would start over him next year any way. Justin Foster and Xavier Thomas were both starters at DE in 2019, and both return -Foster missed all of 2020.
Lyn-J Dixon is a big drop-off from Etienne. I think it will be RB by committee, and I hope one of the freshmen emerges to help solidify that position.

I don't know that much about Celmson, so I didn't know that. It shocks me the Skalski is coming back. He was a stud. I figured for sure he would go NFL.

quote:I like what I have seen of Dixon. I think he will take the lead. It's just really, really hard to get the kind of production and continuity that Etienne gave you. He was really, really good. While he was heralded, I still think he was underappreciated by a lot of people.

I'm not thrilled about Turner returning. He's a good kid, but a liability against teams with fast and athletic receivers. I won't be surprised if he's not the starter against UGA.
