Clemson starts the new year with a 5-star bang
The Clemson football program began the new year with a bang on the recruiting front, landing a verbal commitment from Fairfax (Va.) Robinson five-star offensive lineman Tristan Leigh on Saturday.
Leigh announced his decision during NBC’s “All-American Bowl: Declaration Day” broadcast Saturday afternoon, choosing the Tigers over finalists Oklahoma, Florida, LSU, Alabama and Ohio State.
The 6-foot-5, 290-pounder is rated as a five-star prospect by both Rivals and the 247Sports Composite, which ranks him as the No. 1 prospect from the state of Virginia, the fourth-best offensive tackle nationally and the No. 11 overall prospect in the 2021 class.
