Swinney Camp Insider: Thursday starts with defense, but quarterbacks also stand out

CLEMSON – Thursday’s first session of Dabo Swinney’s high school camp saw an uptick in talent, especially on the defensive side.

Thursday’s morning session was a little warmer and a little more humid than Wednesday’s session, but it’s still cooler than normal for this time of year. The cooler temps help with the longer walks over to the defensive side of the ball, where defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall and defensive tackles coach Nick Eason worked.

Working with that group was 2025 Birmingham (AL) Spain Park defensive end Jared Smith. He was easily the most impressive of that group with his 6-5, 230-pound size.
