Clemson Football Recruiting: Meet Zerrick Cooper<\/a> \u2014 Andrew Boardwine, RTR<\/p>\n

The Clemson Tiger Class of 2016 already has a total of eight commits<\/a> as we hit mid-May. There are still several prospects in the nation that Coach Swinney and his staff will attempt to get pledges from in the upcoming months as they begin their senior season of football. Over the rest of May and the beginning of June, however, we are going to take a look at these eight men and what they could do when they arrive on campus next fall. Today, we will take a look at the Jonesboro, Georgia native, Zerrick Cooper.<\/div>\n

ESPN discusses Watson\u2019s Heisman odds<\/a> \u2014 Tony Crumpton, Tigernet<\/p>\n

Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson<\/a> has 20\/1 odds to win the prestigious 2015 Heisman Trophy award. It was tied for 11th best odds in the nation and ESPN called Watson\u2019s odds a \u201cgood buy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the cautious handicapping is justified,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Travis Haney said about Watson<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cWhen Watson was on the field, he showed as a freshman that he is as purely talented as any quarterback in the country. But staying on the field was an issue. First it was a collarbone in the spring, then a hand injury, then \u2014 the worst \u2014 a torn ACL. Watson is expected to be a go by preseason camp, but he has to shake that injury-prone tag to make 20-1 a value. He is as intriguing a choice as there is on the board, however.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

No rest, but Okey isn\u2019t weary heading into regional play<\/a> \u2014 Brad Senkiw, Orange and White<\/p>\n

Clemson catcher Chris Okey has started all 59 of the Tigers\u2019 games behind the plate, but it\u2019s not as if Jack Leggett doesn\u2019t want to rest the power-hitting sophomore.<\/p>\n

Okey doesn\u2019t want to sit in the dugout.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I think about that and I step back on the field my adrenaline pops right back up. I feel like a little kid again,\u201d Okey said Monday. \u201cI\u2019ve been enjoying it. I love being out there with the guys and winning with them. It\u2019s been a blast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
