South Carolina sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney told local media members that he will play football during the 2013 season.
"I used to play around with the boys (and say) I'm going to sit out, but ... I am going to go to school and play," Clowney said. The soon to be junior ran a 4.54 40-yd dash this winter, which is actually slower than he ran in high school, but we think the added weight had something to do with it. In fact, Clowney is up to 273 pounds from his 260 pound playing weight last year. He also took out a $5 million insurance policy in case of an injury. Mar 7 - 7:14 PM

ESPN's Tom Rinaldi reports that South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney ran a 4.5 forty at 270 pounds during the Gamecocks' winter workouts.

Yeah, he's a freak. Clowney will obviously go into next season as the No. 1 overall prospect, but there are a handful of notable talents at the top including USC WR Marqise Lee, Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Notre Dame's Louis Nix, and Clemson's Sammy Watkins, among others.

Former South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore said he is sure that sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney will play the 2013 season.

"He could (sit out) but it's not a good move for him," Lattimore said. "He's not going to do that to his teammates." We have a feeling this will not remain a story as the 2013 season approaches.

Draft guru Todd McShay said South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney is "far from perfect" when asked about the pass-rusher sitting out a year.

McShay noted that the defensive end still has a lot to prove despite many claiming he's absolutely a top selection next year. Clowney is currently attempting to purchase insurance for his junior year, which he's said will be his last.

After some suggested he should sit out the 2013 season to limit health risks, South Carolina sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney is attempting to purchase insurance for his junior year.

"'A member of Clowney’s camp' inquired with his company about obtaining a policy worth as much as $5 million in case of a catastrophic injury that prematurely ends his playing career in 2013," according to Alex Marvez of Fox Sports.

Tom Sorensen of the Charlotte Observer questions if South Carolina junior DE Jadeveon Clowney should sit out the 2013 season.

Sorensen brings up Marcus Lattimore's knee injuries and at the moment, Clowney is being cheated by not being allowed to enter the NFL. He suggests the defensive end could "sign with an agent, get assigned coaches and trainers and spend the season pumping up and preparing for the pros." Obviously Clowney is a favorite for the 2014 No. 1 pick, but there are other possibilities, including Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, USC receiver Marqise Lee, and Notre Dame defensive tackle Louis Nix.

South Carolina sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney accounted for two tackles for loss, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery against Michigan.

Clowney delivered the hit of the season while undercutting a trap block and forcing a fumble that helped the Gamecocks top the Wolverines. He is undoubtedly the favorite to be the top pick in 2014, he just needs to stay healthy. Enjoy his junior season.

South Carolina sophomore Jadeveon Clowney is already planning on declaring for the 2014 NFL Draft.

When asked about head coach Steve Spurrier's belief that he will leave after 3 years, Clowney said, "So he knows that? There's no doubt I'm leaving." We have another draft to get through, but Clowney will certainly be battling for the first overall selection with the likes of USC receiver Marqise Lee and Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

South Carolina sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney no longer expects to undergo offseason foot surgery.

"It's not even bothering me," he said. This is quite a stark contrast from just a few weeks ago when head coach Steve Spurrier announced the likely offseason operation. Clowney missed one game this season against Wofford with multiple injuries but looked fairly healthy outside of that contest.

South Carolina sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney was credited with 4.5 sacks during Saturday's game against Clemson.

We all know how talented Clowney is, but this was a great performance against a very mobile quarterback in Tajh Boyd. The latter has really improved his pocket presence and mobility, but Clowney's length and wingspan helped contain Boyd. The stud sophomore will enter the 2013 season as the odds on favorite for the top pick.

South Carolina is taking a wait-and-see approach with sophomore Jadeveon Clowney and his injured right foot.

Clowney missed last weekend's game against Wofford with the injury and is expected to undergo surgery during the offseason to fix it. "We’ll just have to wait Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday to see what kind of speed (Clowney) is up to and see if he’s going to be able to play in this game," head coach Steve Spurrier said.

South Carolina sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney is not dressed for Saturday's game against Wofford.

The Terriers utilize a triple option/wing-bone offensive attack, so Clowney would have been asked to work in space and force the pitch rather than rush the passer today. Expect the sophomore and his injured foot to play next week against Clemson.
