His time may have passed. So much new talent back there

And I don't remember seeing him at all on the summer depth chart. That says something and not about his health either I don't think.

He hasn't played much because of injury but I remember

him getting burned some when covering man not zone. Maybe he just hasn't had enough playing time to develop like some of the others. I certainly hope he can get back to 100% and compete with them. But I'm not certain he might not have gotten bypassed by some equally talented guys by now.

He was a Freshman All-american at nickel/LB.
As a sophomore, he was moved to safety and had some busts - which show up big time; plus he was injured.
If he moves back to nickel - he, Wiggins and O'Daniel should be an excellent rotation.

He was playing injured when he was getting burned. At that point in time him playing injured was our best option. It stinks that he was toughing it out for the team and all anyone remembers is him getting beat a couple of times

I won't say his time has passed him by, but I
do think he has a huge up hill battle to climb.
And the longer it takes him, the closer he gets
to;
time passing him by.
I get the impression, he's having a hard time getting
healthy.

Had his 2nd acl surgery in 2 year in jan. I expect him to be a factor next season. Thinking he is going to be mentally and physically ready is a bit much. He will be ready to play but like Sam copper the year after his acl not quite ready.

You may be right. His shot may not finally come until next time.

Don't yall worry about T-Blanks! He is a beast physically and mentally. He has trained hard this spring and summer after the second surgery. He will be ready for fall camp and there is no one out there that is more mentally prepared. The guy is scary good. However he is an even better person off the field. If all the players and regular students had their stuff together like he does, Clemson would be off the charts in all categories.
