CLEMSON – Growing up in the state of Virginia, Clelin Ferrell didn’t quite understand the animosity that exists between Clemson and the University of South Carolina. As a senior in high school, a trip to a Waffle House in Columbia changed his perception, and perhaps his school of choice.
The redshirt sophomore defensive end met with the media Monday afternoon in the Tigers’ indoor practice facility, and he recounted the first time he realized the animosity that exists between the Clemson and South Carolina fans.
“My first visit to Clemson, I came in for the spring game and heard a lot of different things about the rivalry and people saying different things,” Ferrell said.
