Mickey Plyler on Skalski: His film is really good. Skalski is a head-hunter that attacks ball carriers. He runs well, but arrives in a bad mood. There is a lot of talk about Lamar and Smith, but I think Skalski may avoid a red-shirt, especially if he can help in special teams.

Reminds Plyler of: John Leake

He committed to Clemson on 2/4/15.
