Freshmen Booth, Dukes, Mellusi, and Lay starting to stand out

CLEMSON – August camp is the time when certain freshmen begin to push for playing time and avoid a redshirt, and several of the Tigers’ top rookies are beginning to catch the eyes of the coaches.

Co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott met with the media following Friday’s practice, and he started out by talking about running backs Mikey Dukes and Chez Mellusi. Dukes has already made an impression catching the ball out of the backfield.

“I think Mikey’s got the most natural ball skills of any guy that I’ve had, including (Andre) Ellington,” Elliott said.
