First Clemson junuirs declare

January 9, 2019

Clemson juniors Mullen, Lamar declare … The first of several Clemson underclassmen expected to enter the upcoming draft have spoken with both CB Trayvon Mullen and ILB Tre Lamar declareing their intentions to pass on their final year of eligibility and turn pro this winter. Mullen has early second day potential for the upcoming draft, while Lamar is a later second day candidate. At the same time, we have added Arizona DT P.J. Johnson to the list of underclassmen entering the draft. He is a 5th year player who was awarded an extra year of eligibility because of a past injury, but has chosen not to use and instead will give the NFL a shot. Johnson actually played only one year at the FBS after several years wandering around the junior college ranks (which may help explain the one year), but he is a somewhat interesting prospect  in that he’s huge at 6-3, 345 with some upfield quickness as he had 3 sacks and 5 other tackles for loss with the Wildcats this fall.
