Breaking: Stay hot Clemson: Clemson picks up huge commitment from No. 1 player in Kansas

Jaren Kanak made one trip to Clemson and saw all he needed to see. Once he knew that no other schools hit the mark like Clemson, he made his decision on a day that honors the memory of his late father.

Kanak is a 4-star 2022 linebacker prospect out of Hays (KS) that saw his stock rise after Clemson showed interest in late May. Kanak’s recruitment took off, but he shut it down Friday evening when he committed to the Tigers and defensive coordinator Brent Venables, the 12th commit for the cycle and continuing a recent stretch of big-time pickups.
