Clemson's Under-the-Radar LB from the Dabo Swinney Era
T.J. Burrell, a Clemson Tigers linebacker from 2013-2016, showed early promise with 11 tackles in 80 snaps as a freshman in 2013 and added 2 tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 PBU in limited 2014 action, but never broke out as a star in a stacked defense loaded with NFL talents like Vic Beasley. A Goose Creek HS standout with Shrine Bowl honors and 13 tackles plus 1 INT in 2011-12, his speed and athleticism stood out, though minimal snaps suggest he was a developmental depth piece without injury issues or standout intensity noted. Not active since; low-risk depth fit for teams needing versatile LBs, but no elite upside.
