Morris, DeBeer Lost for Remainder of Spring

---

Clemson, SC-Clemson lost two players for the remainder of spring

practice during practice on Wednesday. Offensive lineman Tim DeBeer

suffered a dislocated ankle and linebacker Kelvin Morris suffered a

knee injury during the practice that took two-hours and 45 minutes.

Morris's injury could be serious. He will be evaluated later

in the week. Morris is slated to move into a starting linebacker

position. He served as a reserve behind Altroy Bodrick last season.

He had 44 tackles for the season, including a season high 13 in the

Tangerine Bowl. The rising senior from Timmonsville, SC played in

all 13 games last year, one as a starter.

DeBeer red-shirted the 2002 season as an offensive tackle.

The 20-year-old tackle led his Marist High School team to a 9-2

record and a berth in the second round of the state playoffs two

years ago. He was listed as a second-team tackle prior to the

injury.

Clemson did scrimmage for an hour on Wednesday. One of the

offensive highlights was a 75-yard run by Reggie Merriweather. One

of the top defensive plays was a 60-yard interception return for a

touchdown by reserve cornerback Ryan Hemby.
