Weekend recruiting wrap ACC: Clemson reels in five-star, Richt off to strong start

The weekend that was in ACC saw the conference champion reel in one of the nation’s top-10 prospects, while down in Coral Gables, Mark Richt’s first official visit weekend was a tremendous success, resulting in a pair of commitments.

Biggest commitment: When a five-star prospect commits, there is not a bigger commitment, and that is certainly the case with Dexter Lawrence. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound defensive tackle committed to Clemson Monday afternoon over NC State in what is another huge victory on the trail for Dabo Swinney and staff. Not only is Lawrence a five-star and potential impact player, but he is from neighboring North Carolina, which has been a key state in the building of the top ranked Tigers.
