Last week, Clemson sent out a scholarship offer to Jefferson (Ga.) four-star athlete Malaki Starks, giving him the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of family members who once played for the Tigers – including his uncle, Jerome Williams, a tight end under Danny Ford from 1986-89.
“Getting an offer from Clemson is special for anybody,” Starks told The Clemson Insider. “But for me, it was amazing. I have family who went to Clemson and played at Clemson. I’ve watched Clemson since I was little and they’re very successful, so just getting an offer from a program like that meant a lot to me and it just felt really good knowing that I could get an offer from a program like that.
