Clemson welcomed a big group of highly touted recruits to campus last Saturday for the program’s elite junior day event.
Among the preeminent prospects in attendance was Marietta (Ga.) five-star Arik Gilbert, the No. 1 athlete in the country according to all the major recruiting services.
“I had a lot of fun,” Gilbert told The Clemson Insider, “and it was great getting to know the coaches a little more.”
Gilbert, a consensus top-15 overall prospect in the 2020 class, was accompanied to the junior day by his mother and sister.
“I think she liked Coach Swinney a lot,” he said of his mom.
