CHAPIN \u2013 Will Register is going to be a busy man this fall.
\nAfter hauling in 18 catches for 262 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore, he\u2019ll be the centerpiece for Chapin\u2019s offense in 2015.
\n\u201cWe designed an offense around him, the tight end\/H-back position,\u201d said Chapin head coach Justin Gentry, during an on location interview with TheClemsonInsider.
\n\u201cThis year, we\u2019ve tweaked it and honed in a little more for him.\u201d
\nListed at 6-foot-4, 240-pounds, Register will present plenty of problems for opposing defenses.
\n\u201cHe can line up at a split-end. He can line up at a tight end. He can line up at an H-back,\u201d Gentry said. \u201cWe can move him around without having to bring extra personnel onto the field. I like my chances with a 6-4 receiver on a little corner out there.\u201d
\nRegister will also spend time on defense, but he prefers to play offense.
\n\u201cI can run routes, I have the mobility to do that, but I also like the blocking aspect,\u201d Register said. \u201cI like blocking the guy. I like that feeling of pancaking someone. I like being physical.\u201d
\nBrent Venables thinks Register has a future on his side of the ball.
\n\u201cWhen coach Venables recruited this area, of course he liked him on defense. \u2018That boy is going to have his hand down,\u2019 he said\u2026some people see the upside as a tight end\/H-back,\u201d Gentry said. \u201cSome people see him as a defensive end. For us, our defensive end is a true outside linebacker, which he comes up on the line of scrimmage, kind of an old 50-style defensive end, so he\u2019s standing up.\u201d
\nSeveral college coaches will get an in-person look at Register this summer when he hits the camp circuit. He plans to hit Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and Virginia Tech.
\n\u201cClemson and South Carolina are both showing a lot of interest. This summer, with his camping, it will be very important to him,\u201d Gentry said.
\nFor now, Charlotte is his only offer. The 49ers dropped that off when a coach was by Chapin earlier in the month.
\n\u201cIt was definitely a fun time, just seeing everything starting to pay off. It was fun,\u201d Register said.
\nMore are certain to follow.
\n\u201cHe\u2019s looked great this spring. He\u2019s going to be a dominant player for us,\u201d Gentry said. \u201cI haven\u2019t coached somebody as dominating for a while. I\u2019m looking forward to it. And I\u2019ve got him for two more years.\u201d<\/p>\n
