In 2015, a standout cornerback by the name of Mark Fields signed with Clemson out of Hough High School in Cornelius, N.C.
Fast forward to the present, and the Tigers are keeping tabs on another talented corner from Hough – Mario Love Jr., a member of the 2021 class.
Love (5-10, 173) is being recruited by Mike Reed, the same coach that helped Clemson land Fields.
“I’m really close with Coach Reed,” Love told The Clemson Insider. “That’s my guy. We have a really good relationship.”
Love says he personally knows Fields, who signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in April following his senior season at Clemson in 2018.
