Clemson is following a familiar path in building its ‘WRU’ for the future – one that four-star receiver Lance Wilhoite has been following too.

The Nashville product is the latest Tennessee target the Tigers are after, following-up signing two of the state’s best prospects in the last class in Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers.

Wilhoite, out of Franklin Road Academy, played both in 7-on-7 competitions and tracked their progress ever since. He’s noticed the early playing time for the freshmen, as Higgins has particularly emerged lately – leading the Tigers with a 20.3 yards per catch average and now up to fourth in receiving yards (345).
