Son of former CFB standout discusses Clemson interest, recruitment

Jaxon Howard (pictured left) is enjoying the recruiting process and taking it all in as a promising young talent with college offers from top programs spanning coast to coast.

Although he has only played one season of high school football, the rising sophomore tight end from Robbinsdale (Minn.) Cooper High School already reports more than 30 offers from schools such as Florida, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon and Washington, to name some.

While college coaches can’t initiate contact with Howard due to NCAA rules, he is allowed to reach out to them and thus has been making a lot of phone calls early in the process in order to start building relationships with various coaching staffs, especially with no on-campus recruiting visits permitted right now during the ongoing NCAA dead period.
