The anticipation for the 2024 college football season is growing as we enter Week 0. Sports outlets are beginning to release preseason materials, including rankings, record projections, and early All-American selections. One noteworthy release is Athlon Sports’ 2024 All-American team, which includes two Tigers from Clemson.
Offensive tackle Blake Miller was named a fourth-team All-American, despite his performance in the 2023 season not being as impressive as his freshman year. However, his potential and talent are undeniable, and this selection reflects the belief in his ability to reach new heights in the upcoming season.
On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Barrett Carter was named a first-team defensive All-American, despite many expecting him to declare for the NFL draft after the previous season. Carter’s decision to return to Clemson demonstrates his commitment to personal growth and improving his draft stock for the 2025 class. In the previous season, Carter made a significant impact in 11 games, finishing second on the team in tackles (59) and third in tackles for loss (9), along with three sacks.
Fans of Clemson have reason to be excited about these Athlon Sports All-American selections, as they highlight the talent and potential within their football program. The 2024 college football season is shaping up to be an exciting one for Clemson and its players.
