With defensive end T.J. Parker, linebacker Wade Woodaz, and fellow defensive lineman Peter Woods, the defense is already well-positioned to succeed, and Capehart’s return adds even more strength. Following a trip to the College Football Playoff this past season, the Tigers will rely on offensive leaders like quarterback Cade Klubnik, wide receiver Antonio Williams, and offensive tackles Blake Miller and Tristan Leigh to maintain the momentum.
Capehart sees his choice to remain in Tiger Town as a chance to cement his legacy and support Clemson in upholding its championship-caliber standards.
