Peter Nearn is Clemson’s steady special-teams safety with a nose for the ball
Nearn is a high-effort, special-teams-first safety who has carved out a role at Clemson since 2021, appearing in 11 career games and logging a key fumble recovery in kickoff coverage in 2024, plus another special-teams appearance in 2025.[1] At 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, he brings size and experience more than flashy counting stats, which makes him most valuable as a dependable depth piece and culture fit for a team that wants toughness, assignment discipline, and hidden-yardage impact.[2][6] He is a good fit if you need a reliable, physical, low-mistake contributor who understands his role and shows up on special teams.[1][7]
