Nick’s brother Tanner is an All-ACC safety for Clemson. He’s entering his fifth year on campus and his third year starting. And if the NCAA allows, the 2019 regular season could end with Muse covering Muse in Williams-Brice Stadium.
“It’s exciting,” Nick Muse said. “Hopefully I’ll be eligible this year. We’ve got to do the waiver to get me eligible. But it’s exciting man. You always dream of playing big-time ball on Saturdays or Sundays with your brother. Playing against him is just about the same thing.”
