2016 recruiting class

The 2016 recruiting class will be special in due time. These freshman are big and athletic. Against Syracuse, there was only a handful of true freshman that played, but, they made their presence felt.

Tavien Feaster is finally beginning to log more carries, the freshman speedster recorded 9 carries for 28 yards.

Dexter Lawrence was a man among boys this past weekend, recording 6 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 tackle for loss. It is usually hard for young lineman to have a big impact on the game, but, it makes things a lot easier when you are 6’5, 340 pounds.

Trayvon Mullen earned some valuable playing time and he made the most of it. Mullen logged 4 tackles.

James Skalski (Ben Bouleware 2.0) recorded 3 tackles and 1 tackle for loss. Skalski was overshadowed by fellow 2016 recruits Tre Lamar and Shaq Smith, however, James has proved his worth with his play this season. Clemson’s defense continues to stockpile talent.

Tre Lamar was relatively quiet in this one, grabbing 1 tackle.

As you can see the 2016 recruiting class is well represented on the Tigers defense, but, don’t let that fool you. There are some guys on the offensive side of the ball that will have a huge impact down the line, including Cornell Powell (WR) and Diondre Overton (WR).
