A member of the North Carolina Shrine Bowl Team...first-team all-state selection by the AP...all-region as a junior and senior...played his entire senior season as a 16-year old...played for Keith Wilks at Carver High School...first Clemson signee from Winston-Salem since Perry Tuttle in 1978

Mickey Plyler on Hairston: "I hardly knew anything about Hairston till the Shrine Bowl. He is only 16 years old and a long limb, long leg prospect. He is a guy who really doesn’t know how to play football yet but at 16 has a really high ceiling."

Reminds Plyler of: Derrick Brantley
