Four-star center Ejike Obinna has been a priority target for Clemson for over a year now. Clemson head coach Brad Brownell traveled to Virginia to offer the 6-foot-9, 235-pounder from Nigeria a scholarship in August 2015, and the coaching staff has stayed in regular contact since.
Last weekend, Obinna and his host family from Ashburn, Va., came to Clemson for an official visit. It was Clemson’s last, big opportunity to make a strong impression on Obinna.
According to Obinna’s host father, Ray Matthews, Clemson did just that.
“Really an outstanding visit,” Matthews said during a recent interview with The Clemson Insider.
