Clemson’s top linebacker target in the 2021 class is Suwanee (Ga.) North Gwinnett four-star Barrett Carter, a consensus top-100 national prospect according to the major recruiting services.
In February, Carter announced a top 11 list which included the Tigers along with Alabama, Auburn, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma.
Several of those schools are standing out to the 6-foot-1, 220-pounder right now in terms of how hard they’re recruiting him.
“Clemson, Auburn, Georgia and Ohio State,” Carter told The Clemson Insider recently.
Carter said he communicates with Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables via FaceTime about twice every week, while he also stays in touch with assistant coaches Mickey Conn and Todd Bates through text messaging.
