Clemson adheres to an “inside-out” philosophy on the recruiting trail, meaning the staff does not necessarily commit resources to pursuing prospects outside of its traditional geographic footprint in the South.
However, the profile of Clemson’s program and growth of its brand in recent years has helped the Tigers recruit on a national level when they see fit to do so. Their recruiting reach extends from coast to coast, and they even went outside of the United States to snag a prospect in this year’s recruiting cycle.
The 24 student-athletes Clemson signed in its 2020 class represent 12 states plus Canada, the second-most states represented in a class under Dabo Swinney, who signed players from 14 states last year.
