Tuesday night was a night that Christian Wilkins and Dabo Swinney will never forget as Christina Wilkins was named the winner of the Campbell Trophy. In this edition of What They Are Saying we look at what was said on Twitter about Wilkins winning the Campbell Trophy.
He stands out among the 30 classes of CFB players I’ve covered. Huge Talent, strong character, big personality. Congratulations @ClemsonFB Christian Wilkins, presented the prestigious Campbell Trophy tonight. (AKA the “academic Heisman”). Go ahead, strike that pose, 42! pic.twitter.com/MPLTmuTImt
