Nearly one year ago, Carter Jones of Poquoson (VA) walked onto the grounds of Clemson's campus as an unranked recruit, hoping to get the ball rolling on his recruitment.
Little did he know that his dream would soon be realized. At the time, Jones was a rising sophomore and not on the Tigers' radar. After Luke got a look at him during Dabo Swinney's 2024 high school camp, he had an epiphany, believing he had discovered a special prospect.
Luke wasted no time in adding Jones to his visit itinerary, with the 2027 tackle accompanying Malcolm Gaston, Desmond Green, and future Clemson OL pledges Carter Scruggs and Braden Wilmes.
