CLEMSON – You can tell a child a plate is hot but sometimes the only way they learn is by getting burnt.

The talented Cartersville (GA) freshman quarterback is in the midst of a battle with veterans Kelly Bryant and Hunter Johnson and redshirt freshman Chase Brice to become Clemson’s next signal caller, and co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said the only way the quarterbacks will learn is by throwing them in the fire.

“Absolutely. It's very competitive. I know everybody would like to kind of know if there is somebody pulling ahead but really those guys are getting a lot of reps,” Scott said after Monday’s practice.
