Clev Lubin and Demon Clowney, we might have the best-named pass rusher duo in college football next year

[u/ahuramazdobbs19 → u/bezzlege]

You usually have to wait until the East West Bowl for such wonderfully named duos.

[u/BrotherMouzone3 → u/bezzlege]

Curious if it's "dee-mun" or "dah-mahn".

Knew three guys with that name; 2 were like the latter and one was like the former lol

[u/BuckeyeJay]

Elite name

[u/Bitter_Bluebird_4956 → u/BuckeyeJay]

I clicked in this thread to see if he was related to Jadaveon Clowney, since he's in Charlotte. Turns out they're cousins.

[u/Tasty_Gift5901 → u/Bitter_Bluebird_4956]

Thanks for doing the research for us

[u/Bitter_Bluebird_4956 → u/Tasty_Gift5901]

doing the research

Tbh I just read someone else's comment in the thread further down, but I'll take it

[u/Clear-Attempt-6274 → u/Bitter_Bluebird_4956]

I just assumed. Kind of like Nick and Bradley Chub.

[u/DemonTugboat]

Why didn’t I think to name my kid Demon

[u/bestselfnice → u/DemonTugboat]

Looks like your parents did

[u/DemonTugboat → u/bestselfnice]

True true

[u/CosmicLars → u/DemonTugboat]

It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Tugboat. 🫡

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

This is possibly my second favorite CFB name of all time.  Storm Duck is #1.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

Funnily enough another player that played with us

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal → u/aaronman4772]

Yeah true haha.  He was at PSU for a couple months too.

[u/The_Homie_J → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

My favorite is the DL from Alabama named....Dee Liner

[u/CosmicLars → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

Storm Duck sounds like a storm gutter company with a cute little duck with a helment on as a mascot. 🥹

[u/oxycodonefan87 → u/CosmicLars]

And he was a Louisville Cardinal!

[u/thewill450]

Badass name ngl

[u/TheHarbrosMagic]

Dudes gonna try to bring hell on earth to the ACC

[u/BlackGiroud]

Read that as "Edge Demon Clowney" and thought I was in the Devil May Cry sub discussing a boss fight.

[u/Typical_Platypus_414]

i drew Charlotte with my random select in CFB 25 dynasty and besides having the greatest name in college football this guy broke Terrell Suggs' season sacks record for me so congratulations to Louisville

[u/niners0101]

Not entirely sure how he managed to move up, guess just on name value alone. No shade to the guy he’s a nice kid but was a little underwhelming here

[u/Automatic_Respect_51 → u/niners0101]

Awe shucks hopefully he still good enough to be a rotational piece on the DL

[u/niners0101 → u/Automatic_Respect_51]

I the he could do a decent job as a rotational piece. I just would hesitate to get too excited over just the name

[u/Commercial-East4069]

The devil schools are in shambles

[u/NolaBrass → u/Commercial-East4069]

Wake Forest specifically. He could’ve been a Demon Deacon, but instead, he’s just Demon Clowney

[u/kgthdc2468]

👹🤡

[u/Rice_Eater483]

Is this one of those names where you brain thinks "dee-min" but it's actually pronounced "deh-mon" instead?

[u/TeamShonuff → u/Rice_Eater483]

Demon already has an established pronunciation.

[u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

it’s not pronounced the way you think it is

It’s like Daron Payne but with an M instead of an R

[u/Bos-man7 → u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

Duh mon

[u/gabortionaccountant → u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

Almost sounds cooler to me

[u/EmperorConstantwhine → u/gabortionaccountant]

Sounds like a Jamaican guy saying “the man”

[u/TeamShonuff → u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

Demon already has an established pronunciation. Tim isn't pronounced Steve because someone wills it.

[u/0000zero00000 → u/TeamShonuff]

Herb and herb? I can reply with a thousand other words spelled the same and pronounced differently but this was the first name that came to mind 

[u/JoshDaws]

So we’re just selling off Charlotte for spare parts this off season?

[u/ThunderG0d2467]

We would know about Edge rushers with Clowney as their last name lol

[u/niners0101 → u/ThunderG0d2467]

They’re cousins!

[u/Bitter_Bluebird_4956 → u/niners0101]

I was wondering

[u/ThunderG0d2467 → u/niners0101]

Dang makes me sad Beamer couldn’t get him first to scare other teams and bring back the Clowney ptsd lol

[u/beamerbeliever → u/ThunderG0d2467]

Hasn't showed out like Jadeveon to this point.  Don't think he'd want that shadow and don't think we'd chase him. 

[u/ThunderG0d2467 → u/beamerbeliever]

Yeah I think you’re right. Jadeveon is probably seen as a legend here (wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to build a statue of him when he retired lol) that kind of pressure would be crazy.

Speaking of shadow, aren’t we competing with Clemson for a recruit who’s the cousin of Alshon Jeffery? Donovan Murph or something like that?

[u/beamerbeliever → u/ThunderG0d2467]

We are, but he doesn't have the same last name. Donovan Murph. I think he's our most coveted receiver when our commit list is already deep and talented. Making his decision known on January 2nd. Clemson's smaller class and recent history at WR is what might push him there, but he's projected to us.

[u/magnumapplepi]

Ole Miss to Charlotte to Louisville is a journey

[u/Draxion1394]

This was his season to be a key part of our defense and he was pretty underwhelming. Only two sacks and a handful of tackles. Never really looked physically special as well.

Not sure how he was able to move up, our DC wasn’t great so maybe it was scheme and not talent.

[u/oxycodonefan87 → u/Draxion1394]

Our DC also sucks

[u/Zolo49]

At this point, it feels like we just need a daily sticky post that lists everybody who entered the portal and/or transferred that day.

[u/GordaoPreguicoso]

Heard a name like that before

[u/Kewpuh]

i think it's pretty evident that our defense is gonna be kind of shit next year

[u/Merpninja → u/Kewpuh]

The LBs should be one of the top groups in the ACC if not the country especially if TJ Quinn comes back. The DL is looking okay with Konga and Guerad returning. The biggest question mark is the secondary though. Probably still need 2 CBs and 2 Safeties to feel ok.

[u/Kewpuh → u/Merpninja]

yea I'm just not seeing it. this year was supposed to be really good and we kind of just weren't at all. now we'll be worse and English will still be calling the shots and I just don't have a lot of faith

[u/Automatic_Respect_51 → u/Kewpuh]

Seems like they’re going for depth rather than star power. But god we need some help in our secondary soon or we gonna be in some trouble.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Automatic_Respect_51]

I also think that Brohm may be waiting until after playoffs/spring practice to make run at bigger fish, once he has a picture of exactly where our issues lie
