Albert Huggins: From Bully to Technician

CLEMSON - As a defensive lineman at Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School, Albert Huggins was a bully, bowling over smaller offensive linemen and wreaking havoc in the backfield. Now that he's a freshman at Clemson and playing against a different caliber of player, he's having to learn different ways to make his presence known.

The top player from South Carolina for the 2015 recruiting cycle enrolled in January and has since been making the transition from defensive end to defensive tackle and learning the intricacies of the position.

Huggins met with the media Monday morning in the WestZone and said that learning to be a technician at his position has been the most difficult challenge of transitioning from high school to the college level.
