Gamecock commit blasts Deshaun Watson on Social-Media |
Clemson quarterback
Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson “My high school coach was a big Clemson fan and I told him, as long as I’m the starting quarterback here, I’m not going to lose to South Carolina," Watson told the USA Today's Dan Wolken. "It’s a big rivalry. Who wouldn’t want to play in that game? It was a family decision. They put it on me, and it’s what I wanted to do. Of course people say I have a future down the road (to protect), but I live in the moment and that moment was then and I wanted to play.” One of South Carolina's commits took umbrage to the claim and responded with a facebook response. Ulric Jones is a 3-star defensive end out of Butler Community College who signed with South Carolina last December.
