Clemson's young 'freak of nature' drawing physical comparisons to former Tiger great

Tony Elliott isn’t quite ready to call Ajou Ajou the second coming of DeAndre Hopkins at Clemson.

But there is one facet to the young wideout’s game that reminds Elliott of the former Tiger All-American.

“If I had to say a person he reminds me of, his movements remind me of Nuke,” Clemson’s offensive coordinator said. “But he’s bigger. Might be a little bit faster. He’s not there yet from a mental aspect. Nuke, if you threw it in his zip code, it was being caught, which I think Ajou has that potential.”

Word of that comparison got back to Ajou, who was flattered.
