This sense of surprise coupled with astounding joy is what he expressed further, “I didn’t expect him to offer me because every other visit, I go up there expecting it. But this time I really just went up there to watch the game because it’s Clemson versus South Carolina, and I grew up watching it.”

Last year, Addison ended his junior campaign with 96 tackles, six sacks, 25 TFLs, a forced fumble, and a pick-six.
