A top safety target was on hand to see Clemson defeat Syracuse last Saturday, and it was a visit that made an impression.
Khalil Barnes is a 3-star 2023 safety target out of Bogart (GA) North Oconee, and he was back at Clemson Saturday for the Syracuse game. Barnes has been giving the Tigers a serious look since receiving an offer from them in late September. Not long after that, he decommitted from Wake Forest, and his recruiting took off with offers coming in from Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Notre Dame.
Barnes was taken inside the Clemson program Saturday by Dabo Swinney and the coaches and really liked what he saw.
