Ferrell on returning to Clemson: "I decided to come back home"

---

Clemson seniors defensive end Clelin Ferrell and offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt were the football player representatives for the Tigers at the recent ACC Kickoff.

Ferrell was interviewed by ESPN's Tom Luginbill after his media press conference session and was asked about why the talented defensive line returned to Clemson.

"It speaks to the type of players we bring in, type of guys we bring in, the type of coaches that you have there," Ferrell said. "I talked to a couple of people about and one of the big reasons why we were OK with coming back is I know you both have seen juniors declare early and you like why would they do that? You don't really understand. For a lot of guys, the schools that there at, they don't really like being there unless its football season."

Ferrell went on to describe how much affection he has for Clemson and its community.

"But for Clemson, it's a type of atmosphere where you can be there year around and you'll enjoy yourself if you really enjoy the college experience," he said. "That is what it's about with Clemson. Not just the football but the people, the FOOD. The food is good. Don't let that fool ya. The coaches and the places we living is on the lake. We are two hours from Atlanta if you wanna go to the city. It's a great place to be at just to have a good time as a young person so that was a great comfort. It's like you not going back to school, I decided to come back home."
