It's Complicated: Lineman choosing between dream position and dream school

Cooper Dawson’s recruitment just got a lot more complicated as he tries to decide between his dream position and his dream school.

The 3-star Charleston (SC) Hanahan offensive lineman/defensive end has taken official visits to Army, Central Florida, Tulane and most recently Syracuse all with the understanding that Clemson’s offer was for a grayshirt.

However, that all changed with a phone call from Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott Sunday night.

“He (Elliott) made the visit Monday but he called me last night and told me that he didn't want me to make my decision based off of the fact that I was being grayshirted or not being let in early,” Dawson told TigerNet Monday evening.
