Talented Trio: Feaster, Powell and Overton shine Saturday

CLEMSON – The future for Clemson is bright, and its youngest stars were on display Saturday afternoon.

After the Tigers jumped out to a 21-0 lead over South Carolina State, head coach Dabo Swinney started giving some of his younger players their first extensive look at college football.

Tavien Feaster, Cornell Powell and Diondre Overton each played a role in Clemson’s 59-0 dismantling of in-state FCS foe South Carolina State, but it was Overton that got the younger Tigers in the act first.

Overton caught a 45-yard pass from quarterback Nick Schuessler and outraced the defensive back to the endzone, and he said after the game that it seemed like the play took an extremely long time to develop.
