Early years

Muse grew up in Belmont, North Carolina and attended South Point High School,[1] where he played center field on the baseball team and running back, safety, and long snapper on the football team.[2] As a senior, Muse was named first team All-State after recording 150 tackles with four interceptions on defense while also rushing for 1,292 yards.[3] Muse was rated a four star recruit and committed to play college football and baseball at Clemson going into his senior year over offers from Michigan, Louisville and Northwestern.[4][5]

College career

Muse redshirted his true-freshman season and decided not to play baseball in order to participate in Clemson's spring practices. The following season he played in all 15 of Clemson's games as a reserve safety and on special teams, making 24 total tackles as the Tigers won the 2016 National Championship.[6] He became a starter as a redshirt sophomore and finished the season with 64 tackles, two tackles for loss, four passes broken up and a 63-yard fumble return for a touchdown.[7] As a redshirt junior, he recorded 76 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, two sacks, and two interceptions and was named third team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) as the Tigers won the 2018 National Championship.[8] Muse was named first team All-ACC and a third team All-American by the Associated Press as a redshirt senior after recording 73 tackles, six tackles for loss, two sacks, five passes broken up and a team-leading four interceptions.[9]
