CLEMSON, S.C. (WOLO) — When fifth-ranked Clemson kicks off its season Saturday against Kent State in Death Valley, the Tigers will feature 11 new starters after winning the National Championship last season.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson is gone.

So is running back Wayne Gallman, tight end Jordan Leggett, wide receiver Mike Williams, linebacker Ben Boulware and so on.

But Dabo Swinney has built a career–and made a fortune–recruiting and turning players into NFL talent, so why would this year be any different? Dabo says, it won’t be.
