The 2019 Clemson football recruiting class added another talented prospect to its commitment list Monday afternoon.

3-star defensive tackle Tayquon Johnson announced that he would be committing to Clemson at his school.

The Tigers were one of the first to offer him and it’s clear that Dabo Swinney and his staff made a great impression on Johnson, who is from Williamsport, Maryland.

While a 3-star commitment may not be the most exciting pickup to Clemson football fans, Johnson is clearly a ‘diamond in the rough’ for the Tigers.

When I watch Johnson’s film, I come away extremely impressed.
