Son of former NFL quarterback one of Clemson's prime tight end targets

Clemson’s recent targets at tight end have created mismatches for opposing defenses. For the 2022 class, Clemson’s lone offer at tight end fits the same mold.

Jake Johnson is a 6-6, 220-pound tight end from Watkinsville (GA) Oconee County. Johnson reported a Clemson offer on June 2nd, learning of the offer from Clemson’s tight ends coach Danny Pearman. Many of the top programs in the country are hoping to land Johnson, with Clemson joining the likes of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and LSU as teams to offer Johnson a scholarship.

Johnson has mainly been in contact with Pearman during his recruitment.
