Four-star 2024 TE Christian Bentancur (Clemson commit): “Clemson and I have an amazing relationship, and it only gets better every time I go there! I have a great relationship with all the coaches, recruits, and current players!”

Five-star 2025 S Anquon Fegans: “My favorite part was meeting the coaches. Our relationship is building.”
Fegans is closest with co-defensive coordinator Mickey Conn. He played at Thompson high school with Peter Woods and described watching Woods at the college level as “amazing.”
Four-star 2025 RB Gideon Davidson: “I had the privilege to be at Clemson two weeks ago for a 2025 gathering which was fantastic. Today was about watching the team in a competitive setting. I was able to listen in on the team meeting before the spring game and spend some time talking to Coach Riley and Coach Spiller.”
On running backs coach C.J. Spiller: “I enjoyed watching Coach Spiller be the white teams’ coach. His body language and hype were all in the whole game. I loved the 4th quarter today, where the white team found a way to win for Coach Spiller.”
On Clemson tight end commit Christian Bentancur: “I enjoyed talking with the coaches and Christian, a 2024 recruit. We hit it off, and he helped me understand why he committed to Clemson. Now I will wait until June 1 to see if I am among the lucky 2025s to receive an offer.”
Four-star 2024 S Corian Gipson: “The love from the fan base was great, the people were just good, and the atmosphere was on point.”

2026 OL Langston Hogg (multiple Power Five offers): “I enjoyed that the coaches were outgoing by meeting us when we arrived. The facilities were impressive, and I loved the slide.”
