Head Coach Jack Leggett on Thrailkill: "Josh is a righthander who had a hip injury last spring. He has had a few setbacks, but in the end he is going to battle and work hard to find his way to compete in the middle of our rotation. He has a strong arm and has a chance to be really good. He has to get through that injury phase. Once he does and gets his confidence back, he's going to be a major factor."

Slated to be a weekday starter and long reliever as a first-year freshman, but suffered several injuries that forced him out of action.

BEFORE CLEMSON: Named an AFLAC All-American at T.C.
