Christian Wilkins, the freshmen and picking on Dexter Lawrence
Jordan Williams and Justin Foster walked onto Clemson’s campus, fresh off of stellar high school careers, and wondered what to expect. After a meeting with defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and the rest of the defensive line, they weren’t wondering any more. They knew exactly what was expected of them. Full Story » |

"I was letting them know it wasn't high school anymore and you had to put in the work. There is a reason why we have the success around here that we have and the D-lines like we've had. "
Love the blue collar culture that has permeated our program. This is why we have not only had great teams but our program has sustained a high level of success for over half of a decade.

Christian is stepping up on and off the field, I think he loves being in front of the camera whether on the field or off.

Christian Wilkins is what we like to call a real leader of men. That is what he is called bc that is what he is, a leader, and he is a leader that don't ask for more than he himself is willing to give, and that is 110%!!!

This man gets it. He is a worker, a leader and a beast. Get after it Christian. When the players take the new guys and tell them what is expected you know it's the real deal.

Love the respect that he shows for 2014, and all those before him.
The teaching, and instilling, the culture to the Freshmen.
This is what will sustain this program for years to come.

Success begins with the coaching philosophy that gets drilled into the players all year long and in games. These guys have bought in cause it works. It's hard work to get to that level and I admire how the team gels every year. The older guys bring in the younger and there is a combined sense of ownership. It's beautiful to read about and especially to watch. We're gettin close to game on!!

2 years ago when Clemson demolished Miami, one of their fans said that you could tell then that the team had bought into everything Dabo was telling them. Clemson has a coach that completely understands what it take to get the most out of his players. If Dabo told them they could beat any NFL team they would stay and fight until the very end. Not saying they would even be able to compete but they will not go down without a fight. That's why I think Clemson is going to surprise most of the people this year. There are a few, even on ESecPN that realizes what Dabo has done at Clemson and that's the reason we may be ranked #5 but still have 7 first place votes. Go Tigers, it's time to show the doubters what it's all about.
