5-star Uiagalelei discusses performance on national TV

Five-star Clemson quarterback commit D.J. Uiagalelei led No. 4-ranked St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) to a big season-opening, 35-7 victory over No. 20 DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, Md.) on Saturday night at Panish Field in Bellflower.

The Clemson Insider caught up with Uiagalelei, the nation’s top-ranked quarterback, about the win, his individual effort and more.

“It felt good, getting the W,” Uiagalelei said. “That’s what you want as a team. You want to get the W, so it felt good just to get the W.”

The game was televised on ESPN2, and while it wasn’t the first time Uiagalelei has played on national TV, he admitted it was still neat to compete in front of audiences across the country.
