Cade Stewart is also on the baseball team at Daniel High School, which is about the extent of his duties.

The future Clemson offensive linemen has only had two plate-appearances this season.

“I had a base hit…(and) I hit a dribbler down the first baseline line — he got scared and he dropped the ball,” Stewart said, with a laugh, “So I felt accomplished about that one.”

Stewart is flying high, playing-time be dammed, because he now knows that he’ll be on the Clemson football team this fall, instead of in January as a greyshirt.

The news was first reported by TheClemsonInsider.

“I’m just loving life,” he said. “You get to sit there and spit a couple of seeds, take a couple of the books. I don’t get in much. I’m the first one off the bus. I’m the intimidatior. That’s what my job is.”

At 6-foot-4, 280 pounds, he more than meets the profile.

Making the move

TheClemsonInsider first wrote about 2018 prospect Eli Adams in December, after he won his second state championship at South Pointe High School.

Adams first caught our eye because of the 18 sacks he racked up last season as a defensive end for the Stallions. Now, the 6-foot, 230-pound sophomore is focused on improving his stock as a college prospect.

“(Coaches) recommend to me that I play linebacker, so I’m going to make the switch this year,” Adams said. “I’m going to play a little bit of d-end and a little linebacker — that’s the biggest thing for me this year.”

The position isn’t totally new to him — he played some linebacker as a seventh grader.

“I’ve still got some stuff to learn, but I’m trying to get it down before summer starts and before I go to these camps,” Adams said. “I’m working right now.”

Good player, good person

Trezevant High School football head coach Teli White had some pretty good things to say about his star running back, 2017 four-star Cordarrian Richardson, who’s committed to Clemson.

By now, everyone knows how good Richardson is: Top 100 overall prospect, four-star, etc.

According to White, the part of Memphis they’re in isn’t exactly the best part of town, but it hasn’t rubbed off on the star running back.

“You’ve got to be a good kid to play for me…especially living in the area that we’re in,” White said. “It’s not a positive area, but he’s a good kid.”
