Previously Posted Positions: Quarterback Offensive Line Running Back Wide Receiver
Tight end is a position the Tigers haven’t had to worry about for several years. From Michael Palmer to Dewayne Allen to Brandon Ford, Clemson has been blessed with athletic and skilled players at the position. The first two are in the NFL and Ford has an opportunity to make it three in a row.

Sam Cooper gained valuable experience in 2012 and enters 2013 as the veteran of the group. Cooper is solid, if unspectacular, but doesn’t possess the athleticism of his immediate predecessors.
Stanton Seckinger has packages designed to highlight his skill set and performed admirably in limited snaps (88) in 2012 and I think he’ll be a solid contributor when called upon.
