Clemson commit Ryan Linthicum at Dabo Swinney football camp last June. Clemson Commit Ryan Linthicum
The 2021 Clemson football recruiting class is the deepest under Dabo Swinney.
With a quick glance, the 2021 Clemson football class lacks the “pop” that previous classes have had as it did not include the nation’s top quarterback. In football, that seems to be the barometer from which we judge recruiting classes as fans.
Given the fact that Clemson has signed the nation’s top high school quarterback in three of the last five classes, that is understandable. If you are scratching your head as to who those three were – Hunter Johnson in 2017, Trevor Lawrence in 2018, and DJ Uiagalelei in 2020.
