Winning the state championship in football was as sweet as Clemson commitment Will Taylor expected it to be.
“It feels great,” he said to The Clemson Insider of being a state champ. “Just how I thought it would feel.”
Taylor, who is committed to the Tigers as a receiver, starred at quarterback while leading the Dutch Fork (Irmo, S.C.) high school football team to a perfect 10-0 record this season capped off by its 28-6 victory over T.L. Hanna (Anderson, S.C.) in the Class 5A state championship game last Friday.
The 6-foot, 175-pound senior completed 67 percent of his passes this year for 2,237 yards and 21 touchdowns with just four interceptions while also rushing for 448 yards and 11 more scores on 60 carries, an average of 7.
