Two More Football Signees Qualify |
CLEMSON — Two of the six Clemson University football signees on the
eligibility bubble received good news Friday. The same can't be said for at least one other. Running back Tye Hill (Woodland High School) and defensive back Jamal Fudge (Jacksonville, Fla.) each learned they met or surpassed the minimum NCAA standards on the SAT test. Both players took the test for the final time three weeks ago. Each is now eligible to enroll at Clemson, providing they make it through both the NCAA Clearinghouse and the university admissions office. The news wasn't so good for wide receiver Derrick Higgins from Lamar High School. Higgins failed to make the minimum score on his final attempt at the SAT, and now reportedly is mulling his options such as attending prep school this fall. Defensive lineman Wendell Singletary (Whiteville, N.C.) failed on his final attempt at the SAT, but took the ACT last weekend and could become eligible for admission if that score meets the NCAA standard. Georgetown defensive lineman Leo Reed also is awaiting results of his ACT. Finally, according to his mother Marlboro County High School wide receiver Tymere Zimmerman will have to wait at least a week before he discovers the outcome of his SAT. Zimmerman was a walk-up to the testing site three weeks ago which caused a delay in the grading of his test. Students who pre-registered for the test learned their results Friday. Clemson Signees 1.
