When Phil Mafah received a scholarship offer from Clemson as a rising junior in the summer of 2019, he knew right away that he wanted to be a Tiger.
So, the highly regarded running back from Georgia didn’t waste any time jumping on board with Dabo Swinney’s program, committing to Clemson on Aug. 29, 2019, prior to its season opener vs. Georgia Tech at Death Valley.
Mafah was the first player to commit to Clemson’s 2021 recruiting class, which ended up being comprised of 19 signees, and is one of the 12 midyear enrollees in the class who arrived on campus to start their college careers in January.
