I haven’t heard much on him. Is he also available for run stuffing similar to Davis?
Go Tigers!

He's available! If I translated the "coach speak correctly" Capehart is having trouble getting the playbook down. With Davis, Williams, Bresee, Pinckney, Reuben(before he got hurt) we haven't needed him. But, he was gang busters in his limited action.
I have been telling people I expect to see or better stated wouldn't be surprised to see him in this game. He is a legit 6'5 and 325 lbs of athlete. He was a All American for a reason!
Due to the nature of ND - I would love to see what he can do "ON FIRST DOWNS"!

He will be a monster for us but probably not this year. Looked dominant but very raw in HS. I assume IMG coached him up some his senior year but for some guys, college play-calling and technique are big adjustments.
Give him time.

I agree, and maybe he isn't fully ready for the college game, but big bodies is what we need for the ND game to prove to Kelly and his OC that he will not have any success running the ball on us. If for nothing else, use him just to knock people around for as many downs as we can use him, and have plenty of oxygen on the sidelines to feed him every minute he is out the game.
At Clemson since Dabo has been HC, it's always been next man up, and just maybe this is the game that Brent and Dabo to tell Capehart we really need for you to step up and set your sails toward the QB the spit second that the FB moves on the ground, and turn that big man loose, after all, he was a high 4 star recruit that had his star shining bright during recruiting. I mean we have guys that can take up the slack and school him on every play. Like has been said, he is a huge kid/man, use him!!!

Exactly my thoughts. No worries about losing eligibility because you play him too much this season; so on running downs give the big fella a shot. I thought in the few snaps he has gotten this season that he looked more than just "okay"! He actually was making plays vs. Citadel to the point the TV broadcasters pulled up his bio and talked about him for a minute.
For this game as you said, his 300 plus pounds and unbelievable 4.8 speed would be welcomed. Like you said, if for no other reason to spell the starters with another "big body"!

He was supposed to be a big body run stuffer too. Has he seen much action?
