When Williamsport (Md.) four-star defensive tackle Tayquon Johnson made his first visit to Clemson back in the spring, he felt a vibe within the program that was different than some of the other schools he checked out during the recruiting process.
“Some of the things that I saw going down to Clemson was the loving family atmosphere,” Johnson told The Clemson Insider last week during our Tour of Champions stop to see him at Williamsport High School. “It was outstanding. It was better than a lot of other programs that I had visited.”
After that initial visit in April, Johnson needed to see Clemson just one more time before deciding that it was the place where he wanted to continue his academic and athletic career.
