Mukuba’s Clemson career got off to a strong start in 2021. Mukuba was recognized as a Freshman All-American by the Maxwell Football Club, FWAA and numerous publications for his stellar debut season. The ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, Mukuba recorded 47 tackles (2 for loss), a sack, 7 pass breakups and 1 fumble recovery in his first 13 games, making 10 starts for Dabo Swinney’s squad.
Mukuba maintained a starting role in 2022. As Clemson won an ACC championship and reached a New Year’s Six bowl, Mukuba posted a career-high 54 total tackles. He also logged 4 passes defended, including his first-career interception.
This past season, Mukuba was a starter in all 10 appearances. He capped his Clemson career by adding 42 total tackles, including 2 for loss, and 6 pass breakups.
