Clemson safety on Uiagalelei: ‘He’s going to be a special player’

Clemson senior safety Nolan Turner has played a lot of football and faced plenty of talented quarterbacks throughout his career with the Tigers, including Trevor Lawrence a bunch of times in practice.

Turner also got a good look at D.J. Uiagalelei during fall camp over the first few weeks of August and was extremely impressed by what he saw from the phenom freshman quarterback, especially his arm strength. Turner spoke highly of the former five-star prospect, and considering all the experience Turner has, his words carry weight.

“He can spin it. It’s fun to watch,” Turner said of Uiagalelei.
