CLEMSON – One observer called him a freak. One said his moves were ridiculous. Even head coach Dabo Swinney just shook his head and smiled when asked about Christian Wilkins earning snaps at defensive end.
The Beast from the Northeast looks like he’s ready to contribute at two spots.
Wilkins was part of the conversation following Wednesday’s scrimmage in Death Valley, with observers shaking their head as they left the stadium. The big man – all 300-plus pounds of him – has apparently shown he has the moves and athletic ability to at least take some snaps at the defensive end spot as the coaches rebuild the pass-rushing rotation.
