Clemson is among the dozen-plus schools that have reached out to this standout Peach State defender since Sept. 1, when college football coaches could begin directly contacting prospects in the class of 2023 via text messages and direct messages on social media.
Savannah (Ga.) Calvary Day School four-star linebacker Troy Ford, Jr., estimates that coaches from around 15 schools have reached out to him since the clock struck midnight on Sept. 1, including Clemson.
“It’s really been a blessing,” Ford told The Clemson Insider. “I really didn’t expect to have as much attention as I did. … I didn’t expect as many coaches, and especially Clemson, I didn’t expect them to [reach out] and invite me to come to a game.
