Clemson University has been using the Guardian Caps and when Georgia State takes the field for a scrimmage on Saturday, they will use the caps for the first time.
ATLANTA — “It allows you to play a little freer, if you will. Nothing is 100 percent, but parents are a little more apt to let their kids play. It teaches our kids how to tackle and its awareness more than anything else,” Slade said.
The Guardian Caps are only used during practice for now and Simonds says that’s due to "logo" issues on helmets.
