Michael Palmer

First-Team All-State in Class AAAAA by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution...caught 21 passes for 385 yards and five touchdowns as a senior...high school teammate of current Tiger offensive lineman Brandon Pilgrim...played for Cecil Flowe at Parkview High School...also a starter on the basketball team for Parkview....chose Clemson over Virginia.

Mickey Plyler on Palmer: "Palmer is tight end that catches the ball really well. He is not a speed guy and is not the greatest athlete but he has been blessed with a terrific set of hands."

Reminds Plyler of: Thomas Hunter

Palmer on Clemson: "I really like the coaches there. I went to a camp there during the summer, and everything just felt great there. Another big factor was Coach Bowden and his faith in Jesus Christ was a big thing too."

“This is Coach Spence’s second year, and they use a lot of two tight end sets. They say they are going to throw to the tight end a lot. It is just a good situation for me to come in and play.”
