Rashan Gary, the No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2016, received a disturbing racist phone call one week before he announced his commitment to Michigan.

According to a report from NorthJersey.com, Paramus Catholic High School's athletic department — where Gary played in high school — received a phone call directed at Gary at roughly 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 28 from "Clemson Dan," who left a thinly veiled threat to the defensive tackle.

"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.
