The offer list for John Simpson shows that he could have gone to almost any school in the country, but at the end of the day he followed his heart.
The 4-star North Charleston (SC) Fort Dorchester offensive lineman was long considered a strong lean to Clemson, and Simpson had made multiple trips to campus. However, Simpson also took Florida and LSU into heavy consideration and over recent weeks many wondered if Simpson's lack of a verbal to the Tigers meant he might be headed elsewhere.
Not a chance. Simpson held his hand over LSU, Florida and Clemson hats at a signing ceremony at his school Wednesday afternoon before finally picking up an orange and white hat with the familiar paw.
