When Clemson played Alabama in the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game, it was the first time Isaiah Simmons ever paid attention to Clemson.
What got his attention was all the stuff on social media the program puts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
“I was like, ‘It would be real cool to play there. I can only imagine,’” Simmons said.
At the time, the Olathe, Kansas native was not been recruiting by any of the big schools. However, he felt as if he could play for any of them, so he sent his game film to all the powerhouses in college football.
