Austin Droogsma - Highlights

The Clemson Tigers have their eyes on Austin Droogsma, an offensive lineman. The 6'4, 300 lbs. from Gulf Breeze, Florida has shown some serious interest in playing at Death Valley. The offensive guard has also shown mild interest in Miss. State, Florida State, and Georgia Tech. Chad Morris has done an excellent job at showing the impact the football player can have on the Clemson program. He is the #40 offensive guard in the nation. Coaches say he says a lot of potential to be excellent at the collegiate level of play.

These are a few of his highlights from his junior year of high-school. The young man shows a lot of promise and potential. Who knows how great he could be after a few years working with the Clemson Tigers offensive program.

Missing something?

Do you find yourself wanting more Clemson information? Feeling like your not getting your Tiger fix for the day? ESPN not quite enough for you? Well do I have a solution! Go on over to this blog for some extra stuff you might not be getting from anywhere else! You will not be disappointed!

Quin Blanding the five star safety!

The highly watched safety has finally narrowed down his college choice to ten. Can anyone take a guess which university has made his final options? If you guess Clemson, you would be right! The 6'2, almost 200 lbs. safety from Virginia has had numerous offers from schools across the nation. Clemson is going to have a difficult job trying to beat out the other nine schools for the right to have him in spring practice. Some of the other schools recruiting the player include; UNC, Florida, Florida State, and Ohio State. If Blanding does become a Tiger, it will be a huge asset to the Clemson secondary.

Scott Pagano. Another defensive recruit

Scott Pagano committed to play for Clemson in August. He will add yet another 4 star recruit for the Clemson Tigers, and also another star defensive lineman to the team. This young man will be apart of the highly recruited defensive team that will hopefully lead Clemson to having a stronger defense. The 6'3, 280 lbs players picked Clemson over LSU and Alabama. When asked why he only stated that felt comfortable at the school (anyone see a trend?). With Clemson having some of the top recruits, this class is going to be one of the most closely watched freshman classe in the nation.
Thankfully it seems like Dabo's recruiting staff is staring to focus on improving their defensive struggles. If they are able to secure a top defensive squad, the Tiger will be unstoppable next year on the gridiron.

Our Lady of Good Counsel High School is producing another recruit!

The MD high school has provided college football with several good players in the past, and now Clemson has committed one of their players. Dorian O'Daniel has given a commitment to the Tiger's to come join them for the next season. The senior plays both running back and linebacker, and excels at both positions. With almost 140 rushing yards a game and averaging 4 tackles a game, this 6'2 football player has quite an impact on the field.

Jae'Lon Oglesby

Jae'Lon Oglesby a high school junior from Daniel High school (just a few short miles from Clemson University), helped lead his team in a huge victory. In a recent title game Oglesby rushed for 380 yards, which contributed to his overall 2000 yards for the season. This 2014 commit still has one year to go before he will be running down the hill, but he has already expressed extreme interest in wearing orange every Saturday. This young man will be a great addition to the Tiger's offense, but unfortunately, as we have seen all season, the offense is not something Clemson struggles with. It's the defense.

Elijah Daniel Uncommitted ... maybe?

Elijah Daniel the top Defensive End recruit for Clemson, may have uncommitted from attending Clemson University. He sent out a Tweet on October 20, saying that Clemson "Did not feel right", and also that his family didn't think so tho either. When questioned about the tweet, (which is now deleted) Elijah says that his account was "hacked", but it is well known that Ole Miss was trying very hard to try and have him commit. If these two events are connected, only time will be able to tell.
