Top 2020 receiver has a connection to Clemson | The State

Providence Day receiver Porter Rooks of Charlotte is one of the top receivers in the country for the class of 2020.

Rooks’ dream is to play in the NFL, and he has a connection to a former Clemson receiver who is currently doing that.

“That’s the ultimate goal,” Rooks said. “I know a few players that went (to Clemson). DeAndre Hopkins was actually a family friend of ours when we were a little bit younger. It’s just kind of interesting to see people I know go through the whole process and get to the final destination, which is the NFL.
