Clemson’s Elite Retreat hosted some of the top targets on Clemson’s 2022 recruiting board, and the event may soon begin to pay dividends.
One of the prospects in attendance at the Elite Retreat was 4-star safety Sherrod Covil, who picked up a Clemson offer back in March. The 6-0, 185-pound prospect from Chesapeake (VA) Oscar Smith is ranked as the No. 11 safety and the No. 198 player overall in the 247Sports Composite rankings for the ’22 class. Covil is a dynamic player in the secondary and does not shy away from contact, as his highlights are full of plays where he comes down to deliver huge hits.
