After receiving an offer from Clemson last month, four-star linebacker Derek Boykins made his first visit to Clemson last week.
The Concord (N.C.) Central Cabarrus recruit attended the Tigers’ spring practice on Wednesday with his mother and younger brother.
“It was nice being at Clemson,” Boykins told The Clemson Insider. “Seeing them play on TV all the time, it was just a blessing to be there.”
Boykins (6-2, 220) also sat in on the linebackers meeting that day as well as toured the campus and football operations facility.
“Everybody has a big weight room, but they have the biggest over there,” he said.
