Clemson defensive tackles coach Todd Bates has already begun to see glimpses of Darnell Jefferies’ great potential.
The true freshman defensive tackle enrolled at Clemson in January and went through spring practice, wasting little time impressing Bates with his ability and will to work and learn.
“He’s showing a lot of flashes,” Bates told The Clemson Insider at Dabo Swinney’s media golf outing this week. “I know that he’s going to be able to be a great player here. He works his butt off, and he attacks the day. He just fits right in. He’s never died off of that work ethic, which is what got him here.
