Thought this part was really interesting:
As a rising sophomore, Wilkins could move off campus, but he told Swinney he would remain in the dorms. That wasn't the big surprise. Wilkins added that he would be living with wide receiver Deon Cain, who was sent home from Miami a day before Clemson played in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Orange Bowl. Swinney suspended Cain for an unspecified violation of team rules, and Cain missed the Orange Bowl, the national title game and spring practice before being reinstated in May.
"I went, 'Excuse me?'" Swinney said. "He said, 'Yeah, we need Deon and Deon needs me, and I can help him. I'm going to live with Deon Cain.' That was something nobody asked or instigated. He just did that on his own. So he moved in with Deon this summer to help him stay on track.
"That's just who he is. He looks for ways to serve other people."

We are very, very fortunate to have him at Clemson. He's everything you'd want in a student-athlete.
