A five-star Clemson target on the West Coast was watching last week when the Tigers beat down Alabama in Santa Clara, Calif., to win the national championship.
Seattle (Wash.) Garfield defender Sav’ell Smalls – a top-five national prospect in the 2020 class per multiple services — was very impressed by Clemson’s 44-16 victory over the Crimson Tide that earned the Tigers their second national title in three seasons.
“It was extremely impressive,” Smalls told The Clemson Insider. “They definitely showed they’re going to be here to stay for many years to come.”
Smalls certainly took notice of Clemson’s stellar defensive performance.
