The Clemson football program has picked up its first verbal pledge from a prospect in the class of 2021.
Loganville (Ga.) Grayson four-star running back Phil Mafah announced his commitment to the Tigers prior to Thursday’s season opener versus Georgia Tech at Death Valley.
Mafah (6-1, 218) is one of only two running backs in the 2021 class that have received an offer from Clemson (five-star Will Shipley is the other). Mafah received his long-awaited offer in late July after participating in the Dabo Swinney Football Camp in June. He also made a visit to Clemson this spring after attending a game at Death Valley last season.
