Nation's No. 1 recruit has front row seat for Clemson's domination of Alabama

There’s no better recruiting pitch in college football than a dominating win over Nick Saban and the Alabama dynasty, especially when the nation’s top 2020 recruit is watching from behind the Clemson bench.

Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco 5-star quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, his father and coaches made the six-hour trip from to San Jose for Clemson’s 44-16 win over Alabama in Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship.

Clemson has been thought to be in the lead for Uiagalelei ‘s services, but Monday night may have only cemented the Tigers stance. To say that Uiagalelei came away impressed might be an understatement.
