Bowers A Likely Tiger
By Phil Kornblut
Junior DL Daquan Bowers (6-5 260) of Bamberg Ehrhardt is expected to commit to Clemson, possibly before the end of the summer according to his coach Ron Duncan. "He's a heavy lean to Clemson right now," Duncan said. "I'm not sure when he's going to pop. His cousin, Chris Franklin, played at Clemson, and he's been a die hard Clemson fan the whole way. I think he grew up a big Clemson fan. He's been going to their camp for years and was offered by them before he ever played a down of high school football. That's where he's leaning. But I don't know when he'll make it somewhat official." Bowers also visited USC and Georgia this summer along with Clemson. When he makes his commitment, Bowers will be the second for the 2008 class for the Tigers joining receiver Marquan Jones of Blythewood.
