Tigers extend offer to NFL legacy

Clemson has offered Southlake (Texas) Carroll cornerback R.J. Mickens, the son of former Texas A&M and NFL defensive back Ray Mickens.

Mickens, a Class of 2020 prospect, announced the news via social media Thursday night.

“Extremely blessed and honored to receive an offer from THE Clemson University,” Mickens wrote in a Twitter post.

Just a sophomore, Mickens is already a national recruit. He has close to two dozen scholarship offers featuring Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M, UCLA and others.

Mickens earned all-state and all-district honors as a sophomore last season in the Texas 5-6A classification.
