O’Daniel – “It was a great experience”

TheClemsonInsider.com caught up with Clemson verbal commitment Dorian O’Daniel after he attended the US Army All-American game.

“It was a great experience being able to compete in such a high caliber game with the top athletes in the country,” said O’Daniel.

The All-American experience should help Dorian when he plays at the next level.

“It will just help keep me humbled. In a way it gave me a preview of what the speed of the game and the size of the players will be like,” said O’Daniel.

During the week the prize recruit had a chance to get to know 5-star corner MacKensie Alexander who is one of the  top remaining targets on Clemson’s recruiting board.

“We got along rather well.  We’ll have to see how things play out.  I mentioned Clemson to him, and I got the vibe that he does like Clemson so only time will tell,” said O’Daniel.

Dorian had a chance to watch DeMarcus Robinson during the week as they practiced against each other.

“I never really had to go against him in a 1-on-1 situation, but from what I saw he is definitely a player.  He is easily one of the better receivers I have seen play,” said O’Daniel.

Next weekend the All-American will take his official visit to Clemson.

“There is nothing I haven’t already seen.  I am just looking forward to having a good time with my family,coaches, and future teammates,” said O’Daniel.
