In-state OL would love to continue family legacy at Clemson

Greer (S.C.) offensive tackle Jaydon Collins, a 6-foot-6, 270-pound rising senior with two dozen offers, has seen his recruitment heat up during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Due to the coronavirus the recruitment process has definitely gotten more aggressive to where kids are committing every day,” Collins said. “So the amount of text messages, phone calls and Zoom calls has increased by a lot.”

Collins — whose father, Jason, played tight end for Clemson and graduated in 1997 — has been garnering interest from offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell as the Tigers look to round out their 2021 O-line class with a tackle or possibly two.
