Guys we have a lot of momentum in the football program right now. Let's look at some of the offseason development so far.
#1)Willy Korn- Korn is said to be much more confidant and throwing the football better than he has ever at Clemson. I believe a large number of Clemson fans gave up too early on Korn. Korn has incredible talent and now that he has Napier working with him instead of Spence and now that he knows the quarterback spot is his to win, I think the kid will show out. His running skills are great for a quarterback and he has the potential and raw talent to be an excellent passers.
#2)Jamie Harper- Harper is down to 222. WOW!!! A slimmed down Harper could be a 1,000 yard rusher. He has that much talent. With Davis gone, the other starting running back spot is his to lose. Harper showed signs of being a great player last year and with about 20 pounds of fat removed from his body he will be an impressive speciman on the field.
#3)Rendrick Taylor- Taylor getting some work at tight end is great. He is faster and more explosive than almost every linebacker. He can burn them and be a force for us. I love this decision by Swinney.
#4)Tougher Practices- Practices are going to be much more physical this year during the spring according to Swinney. He has already introduced different activities during mat drills that he says will induce toughness and I love hearing that. Tougher practices equal a more physical football team.
#5)Kevin Steele- I am so excited to see a new and much more aggressive defense this spring. How many times have we sat in the stands complaining about the lack of blitzes and guys standing 3 or 4 yards behind the first down marker on third and long. That won't happen this spring and it dang sure won't happen during the fall!!!
I haven't been this excited about spring ball in a LONG LONG time. It's going to be great to be at the spring game and meet alot of you guys!!!
Go Tigers!!!
