Clemson will miss one of its top remaining linebacker targets.
Four-star Quinton Cypher (Millbrook, NC) has excluded the Tigers from his list of four finalists. Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama and Miami all made the final cut.
In an interview with Rivals national analyst Chad Simmons, Cypher named the Buckeyes and Bulldogs as his top two schools and also talked about the possibility of announcing a commitment as early as later this month.
Cypher nabbed his offer after working out at camp in June, then returned for the season-opener against LSU. That was his last visit to campus.
