Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek four-star athlete Trenton Simpson has seen his recruitment really take off since the calendar turned to 2019, with offers coming in this year from Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia Tech among others.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound prospect played both ways for Mallard Creek last season and said he is being recruited by most schools as an athlete that would either be a running back or linebacker depending on how his frame fills out.
Clemson is among the schools that likes Simpson as a linebacker, and he told The Clemson Insider recently that he has been in contact with defensive coordinator Brent Venables as well as area recruiter Danny Pearman.
