Mickey Plyler on Chase: Chase looks smooth coming out off of the line and out of his cuts. He makes things look easy on video. He does a lot of this well, but I really like his versatility. He is not just a screen guy or just a deep ball guy or just a jump ball guy. Perhaps the biggest compliment you can give him is that he looks like a Clemson receiver prospect.

Clemson offered on 4/21/14 and he committed on 1/31/15.
