Plenty of factors in play - 2017 commitment likes Lee, Clemson football

Several factors worked in Clemson’s favor in the recruitment of Matthew Cooper, the second prospect to commit to Monte Lee.

“First of all, the ACC is a conference that I wanted to play in. The education at Clemson is just outstanding and that’s something that was really important to me and my parents, so that came first in choosing Clemson,” Cooper said, during an interview with TheClemsonInsider.

The 6-3, 210-pound rising junior from Norfolk Academy-Virginia Beach is impressed with facilities in Tigertown, both current and future.

“It’s incredible what they’re doing with the field, all the new additions down firstbase side with the new player development center,” he said.
