Clemson signee 'is special with a capital S’

Will Taylor may not be the most well-known player in Clemson’s 2021 signing class. But Dabo Swinney believes the talented athlete from Dutch Fork High School will make a name for himself as a Tiger and show people what he can do on the field in the future.

“He’s just maybe a guy that everybody’s like OK, who is this guy,” Clemson’s head coach said of Taylor during the program’s National Signing Day show at the Reeves Football Complex in December. “But this guy is special with a capital S, and nobody really knows it.”

Taylor reminds Swinney of when the Tigers signed another under-the-radar prospect back in 2011 – Adam Humphries, the once little-known Dorman High School product who is now in his sixth year in the NFL and second with the Tennessee Titans after signing a four-year, $36 million contract with the franchise in March 2019.
