Clemson is not shy to bring in highly-recruited freshmen who get on the field right away. Deshaun Watson, Xavier Thomas and Trevor Lawrence were all top recruits in their classes who saw the field early for the Tigers.
It took those players a few years to develop their voices as leaders though. With the Clemson offense struggling this year, Tigers running back Will Shipley has taken it upon himself to emerge in that role as a leader along the offense and use his voice to boost the morale of the team.
