Identical twins DE Tariq (6-4 225) and TE Tyrell (6-4 219) Edwards of Marlboro County will be at Clemson Saturday for unofficial visits as the Tigers open spring practice according to their coach Dean Boyd. Tariq has offers from Clemson, USC and Vanderbilt. He also is getting interest from NC State, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Alabama. He attended USC's junior day and has visited Virginia Tech and North Carolina. The boys' father is former Virginia Tech star Bo Campbell. "I would think that Virginia Tech would be the favorite," Boyd said, "but I think since USC offered first, he's leaning towards them at this point." Last season Tariq had 83 tackles, five sacks and three interceptions. He also blocked five punts. "He uses his hands well," Boyd said. "He sheds blocks and forces the issue. He's very athletic." Tyrell has not been offered but Boyd said that's because he's played mostly quarterback and recruiters haven't seen tape of him at other positions. He said USC and Clemson are indicating they will offer. "He's very athletic, very quick," Boyd said. "He makes good decisions on the field. He's just an athlete." Tyrell also plays receiver and outside linebacker. He's getting interest from the same schools as his brother.
