Clemson Football had a great weekend thanks to the verbal commitment of Corian Gipson, a cornerback from Lancaster, Texas. Gipson’s recruitment had been a long battle with Texas and Ohio State, so seeing him wear the Clemson gear was very satisfying.
Gipson was highly-rated by the recruiting services, so his commitment did give the Tigers a bump. On 247Sports, Clemson is now rated 8th overall, up from 12th. Clemson has a relatively small class with 17 commitments. Of the teams ranked ahead of them on 247Sports, only Alabama has fewer commitments (15).
The Tigers have the sixth best average player rating, following Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, USC and Florida.
