Tour of Champions: Rayburn says Swinney's culture 'different than everywhere else'

PENSACOLA, Fla. — Hunter Rayburn was a relatively unknown prospect when he transferred from West Florida Tech to Pensacola High School for his senior season.

The move across town paid off, as Rayburn’s recruitment took off upon his arrival to Pensacola.

During the spring evaluation period, the 6-foot-4, 320-pound offensive lineman received offers from 20 Power Five schools — including Clemson, Texas A&M, Florida, Florida State, Auburn, Stanford, Miami, Tennessee and Alabama — as college coaches stopped by his school to see him in person.

“It was crazy. When I came over to Pensacola High School, I had one offer,” Rayburn told The Clemson Insider on Tuesday during our Tour of Champions stop at Pensacola High.
