Swinney Sees Very Bright Future Ahead for Young WR
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney raved about a young wide receiver and his future with the Tigers.
During his press conference Tuesday, Swinney praised sophomore wideout Juju Preston for doing a “great job” after stepping into a larger role during Clemson’s 18-13 victory at Syracuse last Saturday.
Filling in for injured starting slot receiver Tyler Brown, Preston caught three passes for 21 yards and had a 4-yard rush. But his performance went beyond simply the box score.
Swinney highlighted Preston’s speed and impact, calling the Virginia state record holder “lightning” fast. He noted that Preston made a critical block to help spring Jarvis Green’s 53-yard run on the first play from scrimmage.
