According to Spurrier, Clowney will have no problem jumping to the NFL and could have done it straight from high school. The veteran coach made the following comments in an interview on the Dan Patrick Show: “He could’ve come out of high school, probably, and gone straight to the NFL and played,” Spurrier said. “He’s just one of those rare guys who has tremendous strength and quickness and explosiveness.

Jadeveon Clowney Might be the Best Player In College Football

Via Unathletic  |  January 03, 2013
The 2013 NFL Draft is a weak one partly because it won’t feature South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney, who we here at Unathletic are declaring the best player in college football. Yes, an extremely challenging thing to evaluate because of the different positions and the way they impact the game. Either way, this guy is a beast and surefire #1 pick in 2014.

3-year-old explains bad call in Outback Bowl

Via Fox Sports South  |  January 04, 2013
It was a call so obvious that a 3-year-old could see it. Too bad the ref didn't. Referee Jeff Maconaghy blew a call during the South Carolina-Michigan Outback Bowl in which the Wolverines ran a fake punt on fourth-and 4 in their own territory with less than eight minutes remaining.
