So far, 20 or 30 recruits have toured Clemson’s new football operations facility.
Though the 140,000-square-foot, $55-million project is under construction and won’t open until January, the recruits who have walked through it understand the magnitude of what they’re looking at, and they’ve left impressed.
“It’s already been impressive taking recruits through there now, even with it not being finished,” Scott said. “I think it really just elevates us up one more step.”
The facility has already started to make a statement in recruiting, and it’s just the beginning.
Not only will the facility house a slew of amenities for Clemson’s student-athletes —including a bowling alley, movie theater, putt-putt course, an outdoor seating and grilling area, and even a nap room — it will serve the team, coaching staff and support staff in a number of functional ways, such as tying together the players’ nutritional health with their physical strength, their rehabilitation needs and their overall development as players and people.
