Freshmen catching Uiagalelei’s eye

This time last year, Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei was one of the freshmen impressing during spring practice. Now, a year later, he is the one being impressed by the Tigers’ newcomers.

Uiagalelei said Monday several freshmen have stood out to him on the field over the first few days of spring practice, including safety Andrew Mukuba and running back Will Shipley.

Mukuba is a former unanimous four-star recruit from LBJ Early College High School in Austin, Texas, while Shipley was rated as a five-star prospect and the nation’s top all-purpose back coming out of Weddington High School in Matthews, N.
