One elite prospect from the Peach State on Clemson’s future recruiting board, and on the radar of plenty of other Power Five conference programs, is Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek four-star safety Caleb Downs.
The 6-foot, 185-pound sophomore is ranked among the top 15 prospects in the class of 2023 regardless of position by 247Sports and has already received more than a dozen major scholarship offers, including offers from North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami, NC State, Penn State and Tennessee among others.
While the recruiting process is just getting started for Downs, certain schools have done a good job in making a strong impression on him in the early going of his recruitment.
