The game was also a first for both Fruhmorgens.

Cain spoke with TigerNet Sunday afternoon as the trio traveled back to Tampa and said that the visit couldn’t have gone any better.

“The visit was great,” Cain told TigerNet shortly after departing Clemson. “Everything went good. I enjoyed every minute of the visit. Clemson’s entrance and seeing them run down the hill was exciting and I can’t wait to run down it. The game was outrageous I was impressed about a blowout.”

The 6-1, 190-pound receiver said that he paid special attention to quarterback Deshaun Watson’s performance. When Cain spoke with the Clemson coaches following the game they told him to imagine what he could do on the receiving end of some of Watson’s passes.

“I spent some time with Coach [Jeff] Scott, Coach [Tony] Elliott and Coach [Dabo] Swinney,” Cain said. “Their message to me was that I’ll be special in their offense especially with Deshaun throwing the ball. I think Deshaun is a straight beast.”
