Mickey Plyler on Overton: This class needed a tall wide receiver that has basketball type skills. They needed a guy who can go make plays on the deep ball and make smaller DBs look bad on the jump ball stuff. Overton fits this perfectly. He is still raw in some areas but he has a huge upside. With Mike Williams coming back, this gives Overton time to develop.

Reminds Plyler of: Mike Williams, Kevin Youngblood

Clemson offered on 12/8/14 and he committed on 1/03/16. He is also a basketball prospect that had an offer from Virginia Tech.

TigerNet watched him at the latest Dabo Swinney football camp and he has some similarities skill-wise of a Mike Williams in the same age in high school.

He has tremendous upside in Clemson's offense and will be a big jump ball threat with his height for years to come.
