Clemson legacy recruit hoping for ‘dream offer’ from Tigers

The Clemson football program has frequently dipped into the Atlanta area to nab top defensive back talent over the years, and the Tigers once again have eyes on some DBs from the area in the class of 2022.

One on the radar is Buford High School safety Jake Pope, a Clemson legacy recruit who has steadily collected scholarship offers from major programs throughout this year.

Pope (6-1, 190) is the son of former Tigers strong safety Brad Pope, who graduated from Clemson in 1996 and played alongside eventual Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins in Clemson’s secondary.
