Isaiah Simmons and Central Florida quarterback Dillon Gabriel were announced on Sunday as Walter Camp National Players of the Week.
Simmons had had a team-high 11 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks during Clemson's 41-6 road win over Syracuse on Saturday night. He played fast and was all over the field disrupting the Orange's offense. “He’s just a special talent. He’s long, and he’s smart. He’s physical. He’s just one of those rare guys that comes along now and then that can do a lot of different things,” Swinney said about Simmons after the win. Through three games, Simmons has 27 tackles, two sacks, and a pass deflection. He is the ninth Clemson player to earn the Walter Camp National Player of the Week honor since 2004, and second this season (Etienne, Sept. 1). Love to see our ON EAGLE ??
