Nation's No. 1 linebacker looking to set up fall visit to Clemson

Clemson has its sights set on another two-sport athlete in the 2023 class. This time, the baseball and football standout comes in the form of an elite-level linebacker.

Merrillville (IN) Andrean five-star Drayk Bowen is currently ranked as the No. 1 linebacker and the No. 25 player overall in the 247Sports Composite rankings for the ’23 class. Bowen has also drawn the attention of college baseball coaches across the country with his skills on the diamond at shortstop, and his recently released top-12 reflects the schools where he currently has the opportunity to play both sports. Bowen included Clemson in his top-12, and Brent Venables is leading the recruitment in making the 5-star linebacker a key member of the ’23 class.
