Clemson Needs Burley to Step Up

CLEMSON — It is safe to say the first three years of Vic Burley’s college career have not gone as well as he would have hoped.

Clemson’s defensive tackle missed his entire freshman season with knee injuries. Those same knee injuries set him back in 2024, as he missed six games, nearly half the season.

Last year, Burley played in all 13 games, which included his first career start. However, had just 15 tackles in 175 snaps. Again, not really what he and the Clemson coaches were looking for when they recruited Georgia’s Class AAAAA Defensive Player of the Year.
