Deon Cain: The next Sammy Watkins? — Andrew Boardwine, RTR
No one around Clemson nation ever thought there would be another wide receiver quite like Sammy Watkins or DeAndre “Nuk” Hopkins, for that matter, but there is an incoming freshman that, according to
Dabo Swinney, if you took the two and combined them, you would have a guy named Deon Cain.
”I describe him as if you take Nuk Hopkins and Sammy Watkins, and birth them together, you have a guy named Deon Cain.” Dabo Swinney.
Cain, the 6’1” wide receiver commit out of Tampa Bay has spent most of his time at the quarterback position in high school, but has been working out at the wide receiver spot for a couple of years now and has caught onto the footwork rather quickly. When you see Cain, you see just how closely he can be compared to Sammy Watkins.
