Conn says picky coaches in recruiting build special Clemson roster

CLEMSON - With nearly 14,000 schools across the country having an active football program, how and where recruiting is done has become increasingly important for college football programs and incredibly challenging.

In the 2023 recruiting class, 26 Tigers have enrolled now. To become part of that group coming to Clemson, players have to meet high standards, says co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Mickey Conn.

“We have to be extremely picky and choosy with who we get and who we take and their family dynamic, who they are, what their high school coach says about them,” Conn said.
