Local standout Jay Dillard from T.L. Hanna High School saw a childhood dream come true Friday when he committed to play for the Clemson baseball program.
“As a kid growing up in Anderson, I grew up a Clemson fan,” Dillard told The Clemson Insider. “That was always the dream, so whenever I received an offer, that was a no-brainer for me and my family.”
Dillard, a class of 2022 middle infielder, received an offer from Clemson this past Monday. The 5-foot-9, 160-pound rising junior also had an offer from The Citadel and was garnering interest from a few other mid-major and Power Five schools in South Carolina, having seen his recruitment start to take off of late.
