Swinney proud of how far Overton has come

When No. 1 Clemson hosts Georgia Tech Thursday night in the season opener at Memorial Stadium, Dabo Swinney is excited to see how the Tigers’ wide receivers perform.

Though Clemson is known as “Wide Receiver U” with so many former pass catchers playing on Sunday, this year’s 2019 group might be the best collection the program has ever had.

Heisman Trophy candidate Trevor Lawrence will have an array of talented receivers to throw to. Justyn Ross in an All-American candidate. Tee Higgins is already being talked about as a potential top 10 pick in next April’s NFL Draft, while Joseph Ngata and Frank Landson might be the most hyped combo of freshmen to play the position at Clemson.
