Keeping things in perspective!

Jadeveon Clowney

According to SmokiesPost Poll most readers would love to see Jadeveon Clowney in Orange next Season. But we here at the Post want to look back at why many think he is so great! When looking at Clowney's numbers which equate to 9 tackles a game and 1.6 sacks per game ( which by the way is very impressive) we can see why Clowney is a hot commodity. While it doesn't look as if Clowney will pledge to UT on or after February 2, We would like you to at least keep one date in Mind!


August 27,2010


 Why, some of you may ask is this date important. SmokiesPost remembers this date as the date that Clowney led South Pointe High school into Rock Hill, SC for a matchup against Northwestern. Northwestern Quarterback Ely knew he was in for a battle with the beast on the other side. As it happened Ely went down early in the game and things began to  look bleak for Northwestern.

Enter Justin Worley.

Justin Worley who was a little known QB at the time entered the game to fill in for Ely. And what does he do. Only torched Clowney and his defense for 5 TD's in one half. Northwestern would go on to win this game 42-20.

So keep the chin up Big Orange fans. We may not get Clowney or the highest rated recruiting class in the country. But we did get , however, the Gatorade national player of the year who isn't worried about "little" old Clowney.
