THE WEST ZONE message board | SHOP NOW: DEALS on CLEMSON apparel

When midyear enrollees participated in their opening practice Feb. 27, we shared how Tyler Davis had sat at the front of the defensive tackle line during stretching drills – a place typically reserved for a top veteran on the depth chart – only for Dabo Swinney to come over and kindly point Davis to his spot down the chain.

In due time, we wrote. In due time … a few paragraphs below our photo caption: “Might not be too long before Tyler Davis is sandwiched with projected starters Jordan Williams and Nyles Pinckney.”

One week through camp, Davis isn’t being billed as a starter yet.
