Hey everyone, today I want to talk about something that really caught my eye recently: Christian Wilkins, that amazing defensive tackle from Clemson. You know, the guy who made that insane play during the Miami Dolphins’ Sunday night game against Buffalo? Yeah, that’s the one.
So, I started digging into his background a bit. First off, this guy was a total star at Clemson. I mean, a three-time All-American defensive lineman! They even had seven microphones waiting for him at one point – that’s how big of a deal he was. I read that he graduated in December 2017 with a degree in communication studies and a pretty solid 3.33 GPA. Smart guy, right?
Then I found out about this crazy play he made back in college. Picture this: Clemson was leading 14-0, and Wilkins, all 315 pounds of him, lined up as a running back! And next to him? Dexter Lawrence, another huge defensive tackle, as the lead blocker. It was wild! And remember when Clemson crushed Alabama? Wilkins was right there in the thick of it.
But it’s not just about the plays on the field. I also learned that Wilkins won some big-time scholar-athlete award, which came with a nice $25,000 prize. And from what I gathered, he’s still a big kid at heart. His coach, Dabo Swinney, even mentioned how genuine and emotional Wilkins was when his college career ended.

It’s clear that Christian Wilkins is more than just a football player. He’s got the brains, the heart, and the talent. It’s no wonder he went from being a star at Clemson to making waves in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins. I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on this guy – he’s the real deal!
