One of the marquee recruits that Clemson welcomed to Death Valley last weekend was elite 2020 defensive back R.J. Mickens.
The four-star standout from Southlake (Texas) Carroll attended the Tigers’ 77-16 win against Louisville on Saturday. It marked the first game-day visit to Clemson for Mickens, who spoke with The Clemson Insider about his experience afterward.
“It was a pretty impressive crowd for it being not so big of a game, not like a huge-name game,” he said. “It was a pretty impressive crowd.”
Mickens (6-1, 190) is ranked as one of the top 60 junior recruits in the country, regardless of position, by all of the major recruiting services.
