Has anyone played high school football against future Clemson stars? I played HS football 2007-2010 and got to play against Nuk Hopkins, Shaq Lawson, Deshawn Williams while at Daniel on their loaded teams. I also played with Kendall Joseph in HS, he was a Freshman when I was a senior. We played linebacker together. Anyone else played with or against any notable stars?

He wasn't a future Clemson Tiger or should I say Clemson's recruitment fell short...... but I almost played against Stephen Davis when he was at Spartanburg High School.
I got hurt before that season started. I was In the best shape of my life and so ready for whatever....but when bones break...priorities and focus will change the course and path you sought after.

Yes. I played against Rudy Hayes (1936-2020) of Pickens, SC. Rudy played for Pickens High and then for Clemson (1955-1959) and for the Pittsburg Steelers (1959-1962).
I played for Daniel (first Daniel first teams 1953-1955, before the school actually opened in '55). I still remember a big hit he made on me on a KO return. It was not a long return.

You played against Rudy, You played against the best. He was as a good a man as he was a player.
My Grand Parents lived just down the street from Rudy as he grew up and he was always our hero.

Our team played Ware Shoals when Jerry Butler (The Catch) was there in 1974. He played QB in high school. He and Steve Fuller came in together in 1975. Butler moved to WR, and made one of the most famous catches in Clemson history in the 1977 Clemson/Carolina game.

Jarvis was few years older but he was also a stud. If Daniel had a QB, they’d won state in ‘09 and ‘10

I played sports against Cordarrelle Patterson, Stephon Gilmore, Clowney, Joey Pankake, Grayson Greiner
It was easy to see the talent those guys had. Would be great to hear from some of the guys playing against the upcoming talent
