Clemson takes on Wake Forest today in a key ACC Atlantic Division matchup, and behind the scenes those two programs might go head-to-head for one of Georgia’s top safeties.
A new offer from Clemson was announced on Thursday, and it was made by 3-star 2023 safety prospect Khalil Barnes (6-1 185) of Bogart (GA) North Oconee. Barnes has been committed to Wake Forest since late June, but Clemson safeties coach Mickey Conn never lost touch with him. This week Conn contacted Barnes and relayed the word to him of an offer from the Tigers, culminating a process that began earlier this year.
