Wednesday Night Insider: Swinney details what makes freshman class special

Clemson’s freshman class has shown out in recent weeks, especially the secondary, but head coach Dabo Swinney isn’t ready to call it his best.

Swinney met with the media for a brief session following Wednesday’s practice – the Tigers play host to North Carolina Saturday at 3:30 – and he was asked how this freshman class compares to a few others he’s had.

“I know our 2011 freshman class was pretty good. Sammy Watkins, that was a pretty good group. Adam Humphries, Martavis (Bryant), Charone (Peake), Stephone Anthony, I think that might have been Grady Jarrett.
