Offensive Spring Notes

The media gets limited practice access to Clemson football these days but we still have been able to find some tidbits. Below are some things I have heard this spring on the offense:

*Deshaun WatsonDeshaun Watson
So. Quarterback
#4 6-2, 205
Gainesville, GA
View Full Profile is a freak of nature. Hs rehab has been just as amazing as his play on the field. In fact, every thing he does amazes those around him.

*The three quarterbacks who are involved in the spring have shown some positive signs but there is inconsistency. Nick Schuesller has been the most consistent. Tucker IsraelTucker Israel
Fr. Quarterback
#10 5-11, 190
Orlando, FL
View Full Profile may have the best passing mechanics. Kelly BryantKelly Bryant
Fr. Quarterback
#2 6-4, 205
Calhoun Falls, SC
View Full Profile has the biggest upside. The freshmen are still lost when it comes to so many aspects, but the staff is encouraged by their ability.

*Wayne GallmanWayne Gallman
RS So. Running Back
#9 6-1, 205
Loganville, GA
View Full Profile has separated himself from the other running backs. He is bigger and more comfortable. Gallman is still learning, but as he gets more comfortable he becomes more effective.

*The other backs have had a good spring. Zac BrooksZac Brooks
Running Back (2012 - 2015)

*Mike WilliamsMike Williams
Jr. Wide Receiver

RS Fr. Wide Receiver

Fr. Offensive Line
#63 6-5, 285

View Full Profile are out front but Green and Giella have not been overwhelmed.

*Finally I wanted to speak about the offensive staff. Clemson is lucky to have some great ones on both sides of the ball. Chad MorrisChad Morris
Offensive Coordinator / QBs
View Full Profile left behind huge shoes, but Tony ElliottTony Elliott
Co-OC / Running Backs
View Full Profile is ultra-impressive. I think this offense will not skip a beat with Elliott. I think that showed in the win over Oklahoma. In fact, the pace has actually increased. Also Brandon StreeterBrandon Streeter
Quarterback Coach
View Full Profile has impressed and has me excited about his quarterbacks developing under him.
