CLEMSON – With over 40 true freshmen and redshirt freshmen on the roster the Clemson coaching staff is having to walk a fine line in “growing up” the youngsters.
The Tigers have plenty of talent on the roster, and a lot of the young guys will be counted on early in the season to make plays on both offense and defense. Players like Mitch Hyatt, Ray-Ray McCloud, Garrett Williams, Christian Wilkins, Mark Fields and Greg Huegel are all expected to contribute to the Tigers’ success.
How does the staff balance introducing the youngsters to college football, coaching them hard and giving them enough praise to keep their confidence up?
