Two Tigers Named to CFB Pundit’s Preseason All-American Teams

A prominent college football pundit recently released his preseason All-American teams ahead of the upcoming season, and he included multiple Clemson standouts.

Two Tigers were named to Phil Steele’s 2024 Preseason All-American Teams, in this year’s edition of his annual magazine.

Clemson rising senior linebacker Barrett Carter was selected as a second-team honoree on defense, while rising junior offensive tackle Blake Miller made Steele’s fourth-team offense.

As a second-team All-ACC selection in 2023, the 6-foot-1, 230-pound Carter ranked second on the team in tackles (67) and tallied 9.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, six pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery over 12 games (all starts).

A 2022 All-American, Carter enters the 2024 season credited with 170 tackles (21.0 for loss), 9.0 sacks, 15 pass breakups, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 38 career games (26 starts).

Miller, meanwhile, earned third-team All-ACC honors in 2023 following his 2022 freshman All-American campaign. He became the fourth Clemson offensive lineman under Dabo Swinney to earn All-ACC honors as an underclassman, joining Tyrone Crowder, Jackson Carman and Mitch Hyatt.

The 6-foot-6, 310-pounder enters 2024 having played 1,949 offensive snaps over 27 career games (all starts). He has started every game for Clemson at right tackle since arriving prior to the start of the 2022 season, making him the first Clemson non-specialist to start every game of the season in both his freshman and sophomore years since Clelin Ferrell from 2016-17 after Ferrell redshirted in 2015.
