Look: Peter Woods, Christopher Vizzina arrive at Clemson

If Clemson is going to get back atop the college football world soon, it very well could be quarterback Christopher Vizzina and defensive lineman Peter Woods that lead the Tigers there.

The duo arrived on campus Sunday as early enrollees for Dabo Swinney’s program.

In total, 16 Clemson players enrolled early and are already on campus.

The group consists of cornerback Shelton Lewis, offensive lineman Zechariah Owens, defensive lineman Vic Burley, linebacker Dee Crayton, defensive lineman Stephiylan Greeen, safety Khalil Barnes, linebacker Jamal Anderson, offensive lineman Ian Reed, receiver Noble Johnson, safety Kylen Webb, defensive lineman Tomarrion Parker, offensive lineman Harris Sewell, transfer quarterback Paul Tyyson, preferred walk-on running back Peyton Streko, Vizzina and Woods.

“With 16 of them coming mid-year, it’s going to be a fun spring ahead. A lot of competition. A lot of evaluation. A lot of opportunity to teach and develop and install and grow our team as we set the foundation for not just next year, but the next four or five years to come here in Clemson,” Dabo Swinney said on Signing Day.

“Really excited about that. I think that’s the most we’ve had, ever. Really excited about having these guys on campus. Eight of the mid-years are on offense, eight of the mid-years are on defense, with Streko counted in there.”

We posted a story with pictures of several Clemson signees arriving on campus on Sunday.
