Interest from Spiller, Tigers ‘means a lot’ to Sunshine State star

A highly regarded athlete from the Sunshine State expects to be scouted in person by a Clemson assistant coach this week.

Edgewater High School (Orlando, Fla.) four-star class of 2023 prospect Cedric Baxter Jr. told The Clemson Insider that running backs coach C.J. Spiller plans to attend Edgewater’s game against Apopka (Fla.) High School on Friday night to see Baxter play.

The 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior has been in frequent contact with Spiller and Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott since Sept. 1, when college coaches could start reaching out to high school juniors.

“I’ve been hearing things like how much of a good player I am,” Baxter said.
