Clemson makes the cut for 5-star

Clemson has made the cut for one of the country’s top cornerbacks in the 2021 recruiting class.

Ga’Quincy McKinstry of Pinson (Ala.) Valley named Clemson one of his top five schools via social media Sunday evening along with Georgia, Auburn, LSU and Alabama.

McKinstry (6-1, 175) is rated as a five-star prospect per the 247Sports Composite, while 247Sports ranks him as the nation’s No. 1 corner.

Clemson extended an offer to McKinstry last May, and he has been on campus several times, most recently for the Texas A&M game in September. He also attended the Orange & White spring game last year after visiting during spring practice last March.
