The Clemson Tigers have been swinging for the fences with 2024 football recruits. In a few cases they have connected, such as Sammy Brown and Bryant Wesco.
They took a swing with 5-star athlete Mike Matthews from Parkview High School in Lilburn, Georgia. This one didn’t quite connect.
Matthews announced Wednesday evening that he will play football for the Tennessee Volunteers. He was deciding between Clemson, Tennessee, Georgia, and USC.
Matthews was originally expected to play defense, but as time went on more programs became interested in him playing wide receiver.
The other recruiting news on Wednesday was that the Tigers have expanded the board at offensive line.
