This national writer says he is higher than others on a couple of Clemson draft prospects.

Ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, CBS Sports senior writer Pete Prisco released his “Better-Than Team” – players he likes more than NFL scouts do.

A pair of Clemson products made Prisco’s list in linebacker Barrett Carter and defensive tackle Payton Page.

Here’s what Prisco wrote about each of them:

(Carter) first caught my eye a few years ago watching other Clemson prospects. He is a perfect run-and-chase linebacker for the modern game. At just over 6-feet tall and 230 pounds, he has the speed to run down plays and excel in coverage.
