Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington defensive end Donell Harris is considered one of the country’s best players in the 2021 class.
Clemson rarely extends offers to underclassmen prospects, but Harris (6-6, 210) is one of the few sophomores who has already shown enough to earn an offer from the defending national champs.
Defensive coordinator Brent Venables conveyed the offer after visiting Harris’s school and watching him turn in a dominant performance during his team’s scrimmage last week.
“It was great to get that offer from Coach Venables,” Harris told The Clemson Insider.
Harris has been committed to Miami since last July, though the verbal pledge has not stopped other schools from pursuing him, and he is not ready to shut down the recruiting process yet with two years of high school still ahead of him.
