Last week, Fox 17 News Nashville featured an interview with Kirk Herbstreit where he revealed that his twin sons, Jake and Tye, would be attending Clemson University next year as preferred walk-ons with the football team.
This news doesn’t make much of a difference from a pure football perspective. Jake is a 6-0, 175 pound, 2-star cornerback. Tye, similar in size, is a 2-star wide receiver. Both will redshirt, become hard working contributors to the practice squad, but are unlikely to play a crunch time snap at Clemson.
So…why is this news?
Kirk Herbstreit is the undeniable king of college football in sports media.
