“Tayveon displays everything it takes to be an exceptional player and teammate. His character and integrity are, without question, as good as anyone I’ve coached in 26 years. He’s an All-State selection in three sports, he might be drafted in baseball next summer and he’s the first West Virginia recruit to sign with Clemson since 1967.”
