"Do you think Derion Kendrick will start for Clemson this year as a true freshman?"
— Christian Miller (@chrisdot7) March 19, 2018
Clemson isn’t afraid to play talented freshmen, regardless of position, as we’ve seen over the past few years. But starting at wide receiver is a totally different topic. The Tigers have dubbed themselves “WRU” and for good reason, with several elite players at the position signing every year. Because of the Tigers' depth and players like Cornell Powell, Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers all in line for starting gigs next season, I don’t think Derion Kendrick opens the year as a starter.
However, I do expect him to see plenty of playing time early, much like Rodgers and Higgins last year, and Dabo Swinney will be very creative in how they use Kendrick. As a former quarterback, he’s dangerous in many facets of the game and he’s bound for stardom with the Tigers.
