Skalski is ready to play football
James Skalski is Brent Venables’ kind of linebacker.
What exactly is a Venables kind of linebacker?
“I know what he will bring,” Clemson’s defensive coordinator said. “He brings toughness, effort, leadership. He plays a million miles an hour and has great instincts.
“He is very, very fast. He can play multiple positions. He just has a great fill for the game. He has tremendous pride. He is very hard on himself. He is a natural in a lot of ways.”
Skalski appreciates the kind words from his position coach, and he’s glad to be back on the field after redshirting last season due to an injury he suffered in the preseason.
