D.W. Daniel High School in Central, S.C. has become a hub for producing not only Clemson talent, but NFL talent after Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jarvis Jenkins paved the way.
And for the next decade, the streams of talent would flow.
Houston Texans’ DeAndre Hopkins, Cincinnati Bengals’ Deshawn Williams and then finally Buffalo Bills’ Shaq Lawson.
While there’s a bit of an age gap between Jenkins and Lawson, thanks to the small town, their families have been friends since they can remember.
“My dad and his dad were really good friends growing up, played basketball and all that stuff together,” Jenkins explained.
