Saw that 5-Star TE Zach Pickens only has 8 tackles this year at SC..

Seems we didn't miss much after all in losing him even though he lived just miles away from DV.

They have moved him inside. He'll be a good one before he's done.

I wonder if he really is happy that he went there instead of Clemson.

Of course it was the correct move for him. We let him know up front we were going to move him to DT, that was where his future was. He didn’t want to hear that, so Sakerlina let him live his fantasy.... for a short while.

Isn't Dak still at QB? At least that was truthful.

He and my son got to know each other pretty well this past recruiting cycle, and apparently - like most of Clemson's team - he was in and out of Top Golf this past summer a lot when my son worked there.
He said Zacch actually seems pretty cool. They still follow each other on Twitter.
There were...others, he bumped into, that he did not say that about.
FWIW.
Sometimes you just miss on a guy. As loaded up as Clemson had been at DE, I dunno if I'd have taken that plunge either.

He would have had more than 8 tackles here as a third stringer.

16 total, 8 solo

Not bad. Similar to Jordan Williams who has 17 total, 6 solo. Nyles Pinckney has 19 total, 4 solo.
Our top DT Tyler Davis has 31 total, 14 solo.
Their best, Kinlaw, has 31 total, 13 solo.

Re: Pickens was rated #1 DT out of HS, Davis was #12

Davis was underrated, no doubt about it. The thing that separates Davis is his attitude, will to succeed and his heart. He is a team player first and foremost.
A reporter asked Davis if he was surprised and happy about how he came in as a freshman and became the starter on an elite defense and if he looked back on his accomplishments thus far.
Davis told the reporter that he hasn't thought about what he has accomplished as an individual. He is forced on what he can do to help the defense and the team to be the best that they can be. He is pround of what the defensive unit has done, not just what he has done.
That's the kind of attitude that separates Clemson from everyone else. It's about the team.

A tight end had 8 tackles? No wonder their season is in the toilet.

My thought precisely. It can't be too hard to do well

as a tight end on defense on ones on team. I hope they had runningback back there to block their tight end or maybe he was trying to tackle the ball carrier... usually himself.. as well.

With Bresee and Williams and Capehart coming in at DT next year I doubt he would see the field even if he moved to DT.
