D.J. Uiagalelei had never really heard of Clemson and did not know much about the program as a youngster growing up in California, but that changed one Saturday when he watched former Tiger quarterback Tajh Boyd sling the rock around to his star wide receivers on national TV.
Uiagalelei met with the media Monday and told reporters that was his first memory of Clemson and the point in time when he took a liking to the Tigers and their offense as well as their uniforms and tradition.
“I was younger, I was maybe middle school,” Uiagalelei recalled.
