The recruiting process isn’t anything new for Bradenton, FL, native Taylor Upshaw.
He has a brother (Regan Upshaw, Jr) who is a freshman on the Clemson football team and being the son of former NFL defensive end Regan Upshaw, who was the 12th overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft by the Tampa Buccaneers, Upshaw has tons of support and guidance during this process.
“It helps out a lot having a dad who played in the NFL. I listen to everything he tells me. He is helping me become a better player.” Upshaw said.
The class of 2018, 6-5 defensive end already has offers from Navy, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, UCF, USF, and Vanderbilt, but no offer would make him extremely happy other than one from Clemson.
