Ngata doing an excellent job of being himself

When asked Monday night which freshmen he thought would avoid a redshirt this coming season, Dabo Swinney did not hesitate with his answer.

“Ngata! For sure! Fo sho,” Clemson’s head coach said confidently.

Joseph Ngata, along with defensive tackle Tyler Davis, has been some of the consistent talk from Swinney and most of the coaches since the spring. The freshman wide receiver from Folsom, California has not only wowed the coaching staff with his physical size (6-4, 218), but also with his ability and knowledge of the game. They’re already trying to find different ways to get him on the field with Tee Higgins, Justyn Ross and Diondre Overton.
