Clemson defensive commit reclassifies, will be on campus in June

The Clemson football program has added depth on the defense with the addition of a player out of Tennessee.

Peter Nearn is a LB/S prospect out of Cordova (TN) Evangelical Christian who was a high school teammate of 2021 Clemson commit Dietrick Pennington. The journey to Clemson started a few years ago at Dabo Swinney’s high school camp and a relationship with Thad Turnipseed, the Director of Football Recruiting and External Affairs.

“My family kind of knows him a little bit, so just when I was kind of starting the recruiting process, I went up to Clemson camp just to kind of see what I thought about the program and just to kind of get his input on what level of football I should go try to play,” Nearn told TigerNet.
