What we need. Not only does he bring the wood, he wraps up on every single play and doesnt stop until the job is done, usually going to the ground every play.
So many players nowadays only go for the big hit and miss the tackle.
I'm really excited about this recruit. Will he be an Anthony Simmons type or Keith Adams?

Levon Kirkland, Ed McDaniel, Jeff Davis, John Johnson, Bubba Brown, Rahim Abdullah, Wayne Simmons, Randy Scott, Ashley Sheppard, or Leroy Hill before Chad Carson (no offense Chad).

Lol apparently because he is white he has to be compared to Chad Carson or John Leake.He will be better than either one of those.

Really? Honorable mention All-ACC is pretty good, but

not great by any means. He was solid. As long as we are wishing, why not wish for one of the ones that were far better? I think Boulware can be an All-American.

Is what I'm thinking. His hair is growing out already. And he seems to be a quick thinking player and is quiet athletic as well. I also think with coaching, training, nutrition, and plain old determination and hard work , this guy could be great. Don't forget, we can't measure the heart of a champion

I don't know about the comparisons but when he leaves DV, I think we will call him "The Big Ben!"

I'd like his nickname at Clemson to be Pitchfork Ben

Meaning, I hope he helps erase these recent losses to the Coots.

Ben brings it every play he is on the field.Has a heck of a motor.
Its going to be exciting watching him play for Clemson the next 3 or 4 years.

He looks to be a real deal football player. He's a great pick-up for Clemson.

Ben Boulware is very under rated

Y'all should know by now stars don't matter. Some of clemsons best athletes weren't highly recruited. Take Gaines Adams for instance. He was a 2 star. Bouleware is raw talent. He should have been the MVP. He not only has skill he's a true leader at his age. I can't wait to see him in Clemson lined up next to chuey, Anthony, and steward. Go Tigers!!!!

Zach Thomas

I saw where someone compared him to Zach Thomas. If he studies the game like Thomas, he will be a tackling machine. His body type reminds me of Thomas. He is short and stocky but can lay the wood.
