Derrick LeBlanc is a class of 2023 recruit but doesn’t look like a player who is just finishing up his freshman year of high school. The outstandingly talented defensive end from Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceola already stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 230 pounds, so it’s no surprise over a dozen FBS programs have gotten in on him early with offers.
Clemson has not offered any 2022 prospects yet, much less 2023 recruits. However, Brent Venables and the Tigers are showing interest in LeBlanc at this very young stage of his recruiting process, and he had been planning to visit Clemson this month but won’t be able to now that the NCAA has suspended all on-campus and off-campus recruiting until April 15.
