What Happened

One of the nation’s top running back prospects, Xander Edwards, visited Clemson with his parents and said the Tigers treated him as a priority, opening a recruitment Clemson still has to win. Edwards put it plainly: “They treated me like a priority,” he said. The visit gives Clemson a chance to move closer to Edwards’ commitment, but it did not settle the recruitment. Edwards’ ranking, class year, commitment status and decision timeline were not disclosed. Clemson is 3-2 and next plays Charleston Southern on Oct. 17. The Tigers have made an early impression.
