Horn Lake (Miss.) five-star Nakobe Dean made his first visit to Clemson on Monday.
Dean, the nation’s top-ranked inside linebacker, received an offer from Clemson in February.
The Tigers had been working hard to get him on campus and made a strong first impression during the visit.
“It was great,” Dean told TCI. “The facilities and mindset there [stood out].”
Dean (6-1, 215) checked out the campus and facilities and was amazed by Clemson’s state-of-the-art football complex.
“It was crazy,” he said. “Nothing like it in the country.”
Dean was not able to meet Dabo Swinney, who was on vaction, but he spent considerable time with defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Brent Venables.
