Clemson's Carlos Watkins calls 5-star recruit Lawrence a 'man-child'
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
Clemson's defensive line got a whole lot scarier when it landed a commitment from five-star tackle Dexter Lawrence, and the highly touted prospect is already turning heads.
Tigers defensive tackle Carlos Watkins - who recorded 31 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season - is rather impressed by Lawrence's abilities.
"A man-child," Lawrence said. "I ain't ever seen anything like him."
Lawrence stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs in at 335 pounds, and was the sixth-ranked recruit in the Class of 2016, according to the ESPN 300.
The freshman is expected to make an early impact on Clemson's already impressive defense, which ranked 10th in the nation a season ago.
