Plyler on Korn: "Simply stated he is the best high school quarterback I have ever seen. You name it, he can do it. Perhaps the most important thing he processes is toughness. I saw him get the stew knocked out of him time after time behind a bad offensive line this year. He just keep getting up. Korn is just a natural leader. He is a bright kid and ultra competitive. He is the most accurate player I have ever seen in the pocket and on the run. He has great feet. I fully expect him to be the starting quarterback at Clemson."

Reminds Plyler of: Steve Fuller

Korn on Clemson: "I have always wanted to play for Clemson, and really wasn't considering any other school."

S T A T S

Korn will be one of the top five quarterbacks in the nation. After his senior season is completed, he will be the best quarterback to ever play high school football in South Carolina.
