Head Coach Jack Leggett on Schaus: "Jeff is a lefthanded hitter who is one of our really outstanding freshmen. He is a player who will see a lot of action in right field. He makes consistent contact and hits the ball on the barrel. He is also a good runner for his size. We are very excited about what he brings to the table, and I think he has a great future at Clemson."
