Whoever Clemson signs today as part of the second signing period for college football, it will be icing on the cake for Dabo Swinney and his staff.
On Dec. 20, Clemson signed the nation’s No. 1 player—according to the 24/7 Composite Rankings—quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the nation’s No. 3 player, defensive end Xavier Thomas. They also inked defensive end K.J. Henry, the No. 5 overall player according to ESPN.
Also, let’s not forget about 5-star offensive lineman Jackson Carman, who stunned everyone—including Clemson—when he signed with the Tigers over Ohio State. Carman (6-6, 350) was one of five finalists for the USA TODAY’s National Offensive Player of the Year, quite a distinction for an offensive lineman.
