Senior Greg Huegel has a slight edge in Clemson’s placekicker competition heading into the team’s first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday.

However, senior Alex Spence and freshman B.T. Potter aren’t trailing Huegel by much, according to special teams coordinator Danny Pearman.

“It’s not that he’s doing anything different,” Pearman said of Huegel. “He’s probably from a percentage standpoint made more, and then Alex and B.T. are right there with him heading into tomorrow’s scrimmage.”

Pearman called the kicker battle “intense,” saying that Huegel, Spence and Potter have all shined at different points in the first week of camp.
