The Clemson staff went into familiar territory on Thursday, sending out an offer to Chesapeake (VA) Oscar Smith HS 4-star safety Sherrod Covil.
Covil is currently ranked as the No. 189 player overall in the 247Sports rankings and the No. 6 player in the state of Virginia for the 2022 class. The 6-0, 185-pound safety has collected nearly 40 offers during his recruitment from the likes of Alabama, Michigan, and Notre Dame. Covil called Clemson a “dream offer,” and Clemson hopes to bring another highly-ranked Virginia native in to join their secondary.
Covil’s Clemson recruitment began with talks from defensive coordinator Brent Venables, with an offer being extended on Thursday by safeties coach Mickey Conn.
