Plyler on Rollins: "Rollins is coming off knee surgery and his rehab may slow him down, but he has enrolled early and that will give him a chance. He is a really a bright kid and he is a good athlete to play in space. Some members of the Clemson staff think he may be the best linebacker they signed this year."
