South Carolina signee Jadeveon Clowney has been forecasted as the impact rookie for the SEC East by the Gainesville Sun. Certainly a easy choice by the publication seeing how Clowney was the nation’s top recruit coming out of high school.
The link above also gives a overview of some other impact rookies in the SEC East so a good preview of things to come in 2011.
Here is what the paper says about USC and Clowney –
South Carolina: This one is obvious. The No. 1 high school player in the nation last season was defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (6-foot-6, 252 pounds). This fall, he’ll bring a ferocious mix of quickness and power to the edge of an already dangerous Gamecocks frontline (South Carolina led the SEC in sacks with 41 in 2010). Clowney could be considered the favorite for Freshman of the Year.
