One week before the spring game, Clemson hosted a number of 2027 prospects for the Underclass Experience.
2027 DL Xavier Perkins (C.E. Jordan, Durham, NC) made his return to campus that day. Perkins has been attending camp at Clemson for quite some time now and also took an unofficial visit to campus last year.
“Their leadership and how they are family-oriented,” Perkins told The Clemson Insider. “It’s a family culture there.”
While the Tigers won’t start offering players in his class until June, Perkins has been on the radar for quite some time now. He started forming a relationship with defensive tackles coach Nick Eason some time ago, and that bond has only grown stronger over the past year.
