Clemson Tigers Game Notes
Clemson were chosen by the media as the overwhelming favorite to win the ACC. Clemson had a down year last year, going 10-3 and dropping two games in the conference. Despite that, and losing famed DC Brett Venables, Clemson received 103 votes out of 164 to win the conference title. That’s all going to hinge on whatever they can get out of the QB position. DJ Uiagalelei is the incumbent, but his poor play leaves the door open and Clemson has 2022’s top rated QB Cade Klubnik waiting in the wings. NC State came in second with 38 votes, with Miami, the big favorite to win the Coastal, coming in third with just eight votes. Last year’s ACC championship game contenders Wake Forest and Pittsburgh received four and three votes respectively.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Game Notes
Georgia Tech received a verbal commitment from four-star 2023 RB Javin Simpkins. Simpkins (5’9/175) announced back in April that he had narrowed his top-five down to Louisville, Arkansas, Texas, UCF and Georgia Tech. Now we’ve learned that Simpkins will be joining the Yellow Jackets for the 2023 season after he announced his commitment on Monday. The four-star running back is the 21st-ranked RB in his class per 247Sports’ composite rankings and is the 351st-ranked player nationally. Over the last two seasons for Norland High School, Simpkins has totaled 1,636 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns and caught 11 passes for 115 yards and two scores last season.
