There was a heavy Clemson presence at South Gwinnett High School in Snellville, Ga., last Friday night.
Not only did Clemson commit Justin Mascoll of South Gwinnett play against his future roommate at Clemson — Clemson commit Darnell Jefferies of Newton High (Covington, Ga.) — but Clemson defensive line coach Todd Bates was there watching the future Tigers from the sidelines. Heck, even former Clemson running back great Kenny Flowers was in the stands taking things in.
Jefferies is one of Clemson’s most underrated pledges and showed why as he was a dominant force at both defensive tackle and defensive end during the game.
