When Clemson started dispensing its initial wave of scholarship offers to rising juniors on June 1, the first prospect to report an offer from the Tigers was Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek four-star safety Caleb Downs.
Downs, the nation’s top-ranked safety in the 2023 class per 247Sports, announced the offer on social media shortly after midnight Tuesday following a conversation with Clemson safeties coach Mickey Conn.
“Talking to Coach Conn, and we planned it out where I called him at 12 that night so I could post (on social media),” Downs told The Clemson Insider.
Downs (6-0, 185) is grateful to be one of the first prospects to have gotten an offer from one of his dream schools.
