Clemson is on the prowl for playmaking defensive backs, and one of the top prospects in the 2022 recruiting cycle is quickly developing a relationship with cornerbacks coach Mike Reed.
Cornerback James Monds (6-0 175) is a 3-star prospect out of Fort Pierce (FL) Westwood that comes from a football family. Four of his relatives played in the NFL, and his father and uncle also played college ball. So, his blood runs thick with football heritage. And he’s an excellent soccer player to boot. Clemson offered Monds in November and he recently named the Tigers one of his top 13 schools.
