No. 1 player in Kentucky talks Clemson and top-5 schools
Burton visited Clemson for Dabo Swinney's high school camp last year.Clemson had two offensive linemen drafted in this year’s NFL Draft, with John Simpson and Tremayne Anchrum finding new homes in the league. With a few others signing rookie free agent deals, Clemson is in a position to pitch NFL dreams to high school recruits.
