Clemson Adds to Top-Ranked 2020 Class with Commitment From Five-Star RB Demarkcus Bowman

Five-star running back Demarkcus Bowman committed to Clemson on Friday. Bowman announced his decision to join the Tigers top-ranked recruiting class for 2020 in a video shared on social media.

"Ain't this what they've been waiting for?" Bowman wrote. "You ready?"

Bowman unveiled his choice at the end of the video using EA Sports' NCAA '14, having his player wear a Clemson uniform with his last name on the back.

Bowman is the No. 17 overall prospect in the class and the second-best running back. The 5'11" Lakeland, Fla., native choose Clemson over offers from Florida–where many predicted he would land–Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oregon and several other schools.
