Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek five-star linebacker Trenton Simpson did not have an offer from Clemson when he arrived on campus Friday for an official visit.
However, by the end of the weekend, Simpson had become the newest member of the Tigers’ 2020 recruiting class.
“It’s a dream come true,” Simpson told The Clemson Insider. “I’m just excited to get here and go to work. I know that this is a place where I can be building and also get a great education, so this is the best feeling ever.”
Simpson (6-3, 220) announced his commitment to Clemson on Saturday shortly after receiving a long-awaited offer from head coach Dabo Swinney during the Tigers’ bowl practice.
