When Sept. 1 rolled around on Tuesday, college coaches could start actively reaching out to and recruiting junior football prospects in the class of 2022, per NCAA rules.
One recruit who has been contacted by numerous coaches over the past couple of days is Apopka (Fla.) four-star cornerback Nikai Martinez.
Martinez (5-11, 170) told The Clemson Insider he has heard from the Tigers since Tuesday as well as a bunch of other schools on his list of nearly 20 offers, such as Louisville, West Virginia and Kentucky.
“It felt good knowing all of those coaches cared about me and what I can bring to their school,” he said.
