Clemson held its first major scrimmage of the spring Wednesday and one freshman that keeps standing out to Dabo Swinney is linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, Jr.
Trotter is the son of former NFL linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, Sr., a four-time Pro Bowl selection. The younger trotter is considered to have some of the same attributes as his father. He was rated as a five-star prospect and ranked as the No. 1 linebacker in the 2021 class by ESPN for a number of reasons.
“He is really truly about as good of a linebacker prospect that you could sign coming out of high school,” Swinney said.
