Our Take:
Luke Winstel
Kelly is coming to Clemson to join the wide receiver room. He will bring an exciting element to the Clemson offense. The three-star is a playmaker that is fantastic in space.
On his high school tape, the in-state recruit showed an ability to make “something out of nothing” and create plays with his athleticism.
Morgan Thomas - Shorter height but will fight over jump balls. Able to keep his speed over distance. Understands when to cut back into space. Skilled at WR and DB. Able to defend outside receivers in man coverage. Will need to find his primary role and position at the next level.
