Mickey Plyler on Maxwell: "Before his ACL injury he would have been one of the top 2 or 3 players in the state. He is a big physical corner that Clemson offered very early on. Clemson assistant Burton Burns jumped on him early and that was a major difference. If he can recover fully he will be a great corner for Clemson."

Reminds Plyler of: Antwan Edwards

Maxwell on Clemson: "Clemson was the first school to offer me. I felt very comfortable with them. I look forward to playing at Clemson. They have great facilities, which are only getting better with the West Endzone, and the fans always show up to support the team."
