Clemson might be losing a few guys on defense, but the Tigers will keep one big part of their secondary for next year. Cordrea Tankersley used to be the guy teams picked on and this year he really stepped up his game. The junior has decided to come back for his senior season and will be the only returning starter in the secondary.
He had 48 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, five interceptions (20th in the nation) including one for a touchdown and was the seventh-leading tackler on the team. He was also voted third-team All-ACC by the ACC coaches this past season.
