Though Deshaun Watson is considered to be the front runner to win next year’s Heisman Trophy and Artavis Scott is considered one of the best wide receivers in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the verdict is still out on how good Clemson’s 2014 recruiting class will ultimately be.

Unlike the 2015 Class, in which 10-true freshmen played in their first season at Clemson, just three guys from 2014 saw the field their freshman year. Only running back Adam Choice joined Watson and Scott as true freshmen who saw playing time.

Depending on which service you looked at the Tigers’ 2014 Class ranked from the top 10 to the top 15 nationally so the class has plenty of depth and more than likely will end up as one of the better classes Dabo Swinney has signed.

Watson was the lone five-star in the group. The nation’s No. 1 dual-threat quarterback has not disappointed in his two years at Clemson. He has compiled an amazing 18-2 record as a starter and already owns several Clemson single-season and game records.

The past year, Watson became the first Heisman Trophy finalist in Clemson history, while also becoming the first Clemson quarterback to earn consensus First-Team All-American honors, win the Davey O’Brien Award and the Manning Award as the nation’s best quarterback.

After totaling an ACC record 5,209 yards and becoming the first quarterback in FBS history to run for 1,000 yards and throw for 4,000 more, Watson also took home the Archie Griffin Award as the nation’s best player.

Watson led the Tigers to a 14-1 record and an appearance in the National Championship Game in 2015. In the title game, he set the record for the most passing yards (405) and total yards (478) against Alabama.

In his first two years, Scott has led the Tigers in receptions both times. He hauled in 76 catches for 975 yards in 2014, including a team-high eight touchdowns, while this past year he grabbed 93 catches for 901 yards and six touchdowns. In each case, he earned All-ACC honors, including First-Team recognition in 2015.

Choice emerged as a starter at running back after injuries sideline Zac Brooks and D.J Howard in 2014. In the six games he played in, he led the Tigers with 218 yards before tearing his ACL earlier in Game 7 at Boston College. The injury sidelined him for the rest of the season, and led to a redshirt season this past year.

The former high school quarterback was back to 100 percent by mid-season, and played a huge role on the scout team getting the defense ready for running backs like Dalvin Cook at Florida State, Samaje Perine at Oklahoma and Derrick Henry at Alabama.

One signee did not qualify at Clemson (RB Jae’lon Oglesby), while two left the team (WR Demarre Kitt and LB Korie Rogers).

Of the 12 four-star players signed in the class, nine have already played in their Clemson careers. Linebacker Kendall Joseph, tight end Milan Richard, offensive guard Taylor Hearn, center/guard Justin Falcinelli, defensive end Richard Yeargin and wide receiver Trevion Thompson all made significant contributions to Clemson’s ACC Championship and Orange Bowl Title in 2015.

Clemson’s coaches moved Chris Register from linebacker to defensive end in the second half of fall camp, and by the end of the year Marion Hobby, Brent Venables and head coach Dabo Swinney were pleased with his progress. He is a guy they feel can help the program in the future.

Running back C.J. Fuller, who was listed as an athlete coming in, is also one of those guys the coaches are high on as he develops. He has already shown flashes here and there as a runner and he also helped this year on the kick return team after Scott went down with a knee injury that limited his production.

The verdict is still out on the 2014 recruiting class, but there is evidence this class has a lot of talent and appears to be pretty deep.
