One of the nation’s top defensive back prospects included Clemson on his updated short list Tuesday via social media.
Ponchatoula (La.) five-star safety Jacoby Mathews dropped a new top-six schools list featuring the Tigers along with LSU, Florida, Southern Cal, Arizona State and Texas. He was previously working with a top six comprised of LSU, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi State and Oklahoma.
Mathews is ranked as the No. 1 safety and No. 11 overall prospect in the country for the class of 2022 by Rivals.
Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables extended an offer from the Tigers to the 6-foot-1, 205-pound junior last month.
