When a freshman football player decides to enroll in school early, he does it to try and get a leg up on the learning curve. It allows him to be able to participate in spring drills and learn the system at a slower rate while adapting to being a college student at the same time.
However, when three upper classmen at his position are battling through injuries, life becomes a little tougher for that freshman that expected. That is how it feel for Clemson cornerback Fred Davis these days.
Davis has been thrown into the fire, sort of speak, with Derion Kendrick out with a hamstring injury, Mario Goodrich nursing an ankle and Andrew Booth still recovering from a knee scope in January.
