Clemson starting offense

Pos. Player Hometown Ht. Wt. Class

WR Aaron Kelly Marietta, Ga. 6-5 190 Sr.

Made the right decision to return for senior year.

WR Tyler Grisham Birmingham, Ala. 5-11 180 Sr.

Would make the All-Underrated team if there were one.

LT Chris Hairston Winston-Salem, N.C. 6-6 315 So.*

Handled himself well against Auburn's Quentin Groves last year.

LG Jamarcus Grant Mullins 6-4 315 Jr. *

Has had a great fall camp so far.

C Thomas Austin Camden 6-3 295 Jr.*

Clearly the leader of the offensive line.

RG Barry Humphries Anderson 6-3 295 Jr.*

Battling redshirt freshman Mason Cloy for starting spot.

RT Cory Lambert Greenville 6-6 310 Jr.*

Much improved in practice; now can he do the same in a game?

TE Michael Palmer Stone Mountain, Ga. 6-5 245 Jr.

Started 11 games last season.

QB Cullen Harper Alpharetta, Ga. 6-4 225 Gr.*

Top-rated Sr. QB in college football. Not bad for a second-year starter.

TB James Davis Atlanta 5-11 210 Sr.

Can he stay healthy?

TB C.J. Spiller Lake Butler, Fla. 5-11 190 Jr.

Needs to get tougher if he has plans on being a 1st- or 2nd-round pick.

PK Mark Buchholz Alpharetta, Ga. 6-1 205 Gr.*

Will be OK if he masters those pesky kicks from the hash marks.

Pos. Player Hometown Ht. Wt. Class

DE Kevin Alexander Raiford, Fla. 6-3 245 Jr.

Trying hard to fight off freshman stud Da'Quan Bowers.

NT Dorell Scott Columbia 6-4 320 Sr.*

Is in the best shape of his career.

DT Jamie Cumbie Morris, Ill. 6-7 270 Jr.

Can he hold up against the run?

DE Ricky Sapp Bamberg 6-4 240 Jr.

The NFL scouts are on his scent. He could be that good.

LB Scotty Cooper Lake City 6-1 210 So.

DeAndre McDaniel should see plenty of action here.

LB Brandon Maye Mobile, Ala. 6-2 225 Fr. *

Can he learn to channel his hair-trigger temper?

LB Kavell Conner Richmond, Va. 6-1 225 Jr. *

Has held off Jeremy Campbell so far.

CB Chris Chancellor Miramar, Fla. 5-10 170 Jr. *

Disciplined and feisty.

SS Michael Hamlin Timmonsville 6-3 205 Gr. *

Only fourth-year starter on the roster.

FS Chris Clemons Arcadia, Fla. 6-1 205 Gr.*

Still hasn't forgotten that big bust against Boston College.

CB Crezdon Butler Asheville, N.C. 6-0 185 Jr.

Byron Maxwell should get plenty of action here.

P Jimmy Maners Rock Hill 6-1 190 Gr.*

Dawson Zimmerman is hot on his heels.
