“I look forward to him stepping in right away and having an integral role in all aspects of our program. In addition to his on-field responsibilities in training and games, it won’t take him long to understand that Clemson is not a difficult place to recruit some of the nation’s brightest student-athletes in our sport. After all, that was one of the reasons he has chosen to move his family to our community.”
