New Tigers commit Kobe McCloud says Clemson is "just home"

Kobe McCloud found a home at Clemson nearly eight years ago when he accompanied his brother and former Clemson receiver Ray-Ray McCloud on his official visit, and that home welcomed him back with open arms as he announced his commitment to Clemson Wednesday evening.

The 3-star linebacker out of Tampa (FL) Gaither chose Clemson over offers during his recruitment from Miami, Boston College, Iowa State, Syracuse, South Carolina and Indiana, becoming the Tigers’ 16th pledge for the 2022 recruiting class and the fourth since the end of December’s early signing period.

McCloud said as soon as he stepped foot on Clemson’s campus last weekend for his official visit -- he knew he was home.
