Elijah Rodgers hopes the third time’s a charm for him at Clemson. At the very least, he hopes Clemson will give him a fresh start.
After a pair of stops at Indiana and Gardner-Webb that didn’t work out for Rodgers, the embattled but talented cornerback is now enrolled at Clemson and plans to walk on to the football team.
A former two-time all-state performer and Shrine Bowl selection at Blacksburg (S.C.) High School, Rodgers reached out to Clemson cornerbacks coach Mike Reed this summer to see if there was a chance he could join the team as a walk-on.
