Spotlight: Rendrick Taylor


Clemson's offense has several offensive weapons this year. Everyone is talking about James Davis and C.J. Spiller and the impact they will have. Most agree that Chansi Stuckey and Aaron Kelly are as formidable as any recievers in the league. These guys will do well, but there is one player who has not been mentioned a lot outside of Death Valley and that is Rendrick Taylor.
Taylor is listed as a WR, but he will line up at fullback, tight end, and tailback as well. Rob Spence has officially assigned his position as J-Back to utilize his unique physique and physical attributes and skills (6'1'', 228). He literally looks like a body builder.
Lining up as J-Back is something Rob Spence did while in Maryland and it creates mismatches with linebackers trying to cover the position, and if used correctly could be unstoppable. I watched Taylor in the spring game and he had 190 yards recieving with a 92 yard TD reception. He was the star of the game.
There will be big plays for clemson this year, and you can bet Rendrick Taylor will be on the recieving end of many.
