Clemson makes top 5 for elite cornerback

Clemson is in the top group of schools for 2024 cornerback Tavoy Feagin.

The four-star prospect released his top 5 schools on Sunday and the Tigers made the cut.

Clemson is joined by Florida State, Miami, LSU and Alabama in Feagin’s top group.

Feagin spoke with On3’s Hayes Fawcett about why the Tigers made his top 5.

“After a couple of visits to Clemson, really the atmosphere and coaching staff stood out,” Feagin . “Not only do I have great relationships with the coaches, my dad does as well, because everyone on the staff either played with him or coached him.”

Feagin’s father is Michael Feagin, who played at Alabama in the 90s when Dabo Swinney was an assistant with the Crimson Tide.

Feagin has set his commitment date for Nov. 20.

Clemson currently leads to land the Tampa, Florida native, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

The Tigers are given a 25.3 percent chance of landing Feagin. Florida and Alabama have the second-best odds at 15 percent and 12.8 percent.

Clemson does not currently have any commits for the class of 2024. The Tigers do have 20 commits for the class of 2023 and currently have the No. 8 recruiting class in the country, according to the On3 Consensus Rankings.
