Plain and simple: Pollard using Nike trip to be a better player for Clemson

Sean Pollard is excited about the trip to Oregon for Nike’s The Opening, but his reasons differ from most other college prospects who head out to Oregon looking for exposure, gifts and the chance for a free trip to Nike’s world headquarters.

Pollard just wants to get better so he can be a better player for Clemson down the road.

The 2016 Clemson commit and Southern Pines (NC) Pinecrest standout offensive lineman left early Tuesday for Nike’s signature event, but told TigerNet he didn’t have too much time to get excited – he was busy preparing for the 2015 football season and working a full-time job.
