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.
Robbie Caldwell and the Clemson staff is hoping to make that pitch successfully to the No. 1 player in Kentucky, Jager Burton. The 6-4, 270-pound offensive lineman from Frederick Douglass HS (Lexington, KY) included Clemson in a list of finalists recently, and TigerNet caught up with Burton to get the scoop on where Clemson currently stands in his recruitment.
