When Clemson opens spring practice this coming Wednesday, everyone will be interested to see how freshman quarterback DJ Uiagalelei looks. It will mark the first time anyone outside of Clemson will get to see the 5-star prospect in a Clemson uniform.
Uiagalelei, who enrolled at Clemson in January, was the No. 1 rated quarterback in the country coming out of high school, and No. 2 player overall according to Rivals.com. He threw for 10,496 yards and 127 touchdowns in his high school career, while leading his high school team—St. John Bosco—to a California State Championship last fall.
In the title game, Uiagalelei completed 24-of-29 passes for 410 yards and threw four touchdown passes.
