Zaire Patterson broke out as a sophomore last season and saw his recruitment take off as a result.
The 6-foot-6, 225-pound defensive end from Winston-Salem, North Carolina (Winston-Salem Prep) is now rated as a four-star prospect and holds around a dozen scholarship offers.
“I feel very blessed to get the attention I’ve been getting on the recruiting scene,” he told The Clemson Insider.
Patterson most recently visited North Carolina and Ohio State in July. Clemson is one of the schools he is interested in and wants to attend a game at this season.
“I plan on visiting Clemson this year,” he said.
