Could the Tigers take another prime defensive lineman out of the state of Alabama?
Clemson will likely lose several key pieces along the defensive line after this season, and defensive ends coach Chris Rumph is always on the prowl for quarterback rushers. With that in mind, Rumph and defensive recruiting assistant James Haynes identified Class of 2026 DE Jamarion Matthews (6-3 240) of Harvest (Alabama) Sparkman as someone they think can do the job.
Matthews tallied around 20 sacks last season, earned all-conference honors, and was in for a game at Death Valley in September.
