Clelin Ferrell saw it all and did it all during his Clemson career. From prospect to starter to team leader to potential first-round draft choice, the youngster that came out of high school full of potential has turned into a man with the world at his feet.
Ferrell was a highly-regarded defensive end prospect out of Virginia when he tore his ACL the week before his senior season. Ferrell was chasing the quarterback during the third quarter of a scrimmage when he felt his knee pop, and he spent the next six months in rehab. After the injury, many college coaches backed off of Ferrell’s recruitment, but Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables stuck with Ferrell and earned a commitment.
