Dabo Swinney is a big talker.
His words, however, made a massive impact on one priority target on the recruiting trail.
Swinney and Matt Luke visited Chancellor Barclay of Orlando (FL) First Academy following several key announcements from the four-star athlete.
Barclay recently announced that Clemson was a finalist, and Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, and Clemson have locked in official visits with Barclay, establishing the four-star lineman that he’s a top priority.
That urgency was felt from one program on Thursday, as Swinney and Luke spent two hours with Barclay, breaking down everything from the culture, to what he would expect should be committed to Clemson.
