Malik Herring is listed by Rivals as one of the top 100 prospects in the class of 2017.
Ranked as the No. 74 overall prospect in the country, he’s also listed as the third-best strong-side defensive end.
Herring is highly-coveted by Clemson defensive ends coach Marion Hobby. The two spent plenty of time with one another over the weekend while Herring was in Clemson for Saturday’s Junior Day.
“(Hobby) was telling me it was a great time as a defensive end for Clemson and playing early, that’s what he was basically saying — I have a good chance of playing early, if I come in and work hard,” Herring said.
