Diondre Overton showed flashes of his playmaking potential on Saturday at Death Valley.
The 6-foot-5, 206-pound wide receiver made a couple of impressive plays, including a long touchdown reception, in Clemson’s first scrimmage of fall camp.
“Diondre Overton had two big catches, one one-handed,” Swinney said. “But then he came back and missed one. He’s got to be consistent.”
Overton feels he is ready to take the next step as a junior this season and become a dependable target in the Tigers’ receiving corps.
“I’m definitely ready,” he said. “I have a lot of experience and I’m ready to put the team on my back in certain situations.
