The recruiting process has been a pleasant surprise for Pilot Mountain (N.C.) East Surry four-star tight end Benjamin Gosnell since Sept. 1, when, per NCAA rules, college football coaches could begin reaching out to prospects in the 2022 class.
Gosnell, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound high school junior, told The Clemson Insider he didn’t expect to be contacted by as many coaches as he has over the past week or so.
“It’s been a blast,” he said. “I didn’t realize I was on so many schools’ radar.”
Gosnell, who holds nearly 20 scholarship offers, named just some of the programs he has heard from since the calendar turned to September.
