  Veteran Clemson safety Lannden Zanders has made the "incredibly difficult decision" to retire from football after an injury-plagued career. Zanders, a fourth-year player who was expected to compete for reserve snaps at safety in 2022, cited three shoulder injuries over the past year as his main reasoning for stepping away from "the game I love" in a Wednesday Twitter post. "While I've worked hard with our trainers and doctors to return to the field, I just do not believe I am physically able to be the kind of player I have always prided myself on being," Zanders wrote.

A 6-foot-1 safety and former three-star 2019 recruit from North Carolina's Crest High School, Zanders played in 25 games with 10 starts over three seasons at Clemson. The 21-year-old safety finished his career with 57 tackles, five tackles for loss, four pass breakups and three sacks across 511 defensive snaps. After appearing in 14 games as a true freshman in 2019, Zanders played the entire 2020 season with a torn labrum in his shoulder and suffered another season-ending shoulder injury in Clemson's 2021 season opener against Georgia. "Though I am disappointed I will not play football again, I leave the game with no regrets," Zanders wrote. "I am proud I got to play beside so many great teammates and for so many great coaches." - The State
