Just one day before he took his official visit to Clemson, top-ranked recruit Rashan Gary was the target of a racist voice mail that was sent to his high school’s athletic department by a supposed Tigers fan.
Gary chose the Michigan football program over Clemson a week later.
Darren Cooper of NorthJersey.com reports that the voice mail was left on Dec. 28. Here’s what the caller had to say:
Yes, this here is ‘Clemson Dan,’ and this message is for Mr. Rashan Gary. We just wantin’ to know if you’re coming down here for a visit, you better be serious about it, ’cause there’s only two things we love and that’s Clemson football and the KKK.
