The Clemson Insider kept track of where Clemson’s coaches traveled on the recruiting trail Thursday. So, we rounded up the visits we could account for in a recruiting notebook.
Here’s a roundup of where Clemson’s coaches have been on the recruiting trail and which prospects they visited. Of course, NCAA rules don’t permit direct contact between coaches and recruits in the classes of 2023-25, but Clemson’s coaches did their due diligence as they were back on the trail.
Brandon Streeter
Clemson’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach stopped by Blythewood (S.C.) High School and Dutch Fork (Irmo, S.C.) on Thursday. The latter high school is home to Clemson four-star wide receiver signee Antonio Williams, who will join the program in June, as well as 2023 running back Jarvis Green, who continues to be a target for the Tigers in this year’s class.
Thanks for stopping by Blythewood @CoachStreeter and checking in on our players!!!

CJ Spiller
Clemson’s running backs coach hit the trail Thursday and made several trips across the Palmetto State. Spiller stopped by both Ridge Spring-Monetta (S.C.) and Wagener-Salley (S.C.).
TCI spoke with the head coach at Wagener-Salley, Willie Fox, who told us that Thursday’s visit was a normal recruiting visit, in which Spiller was inquiring about any potential prospects. Fox told him about Brandon Pontoon, who is one of the program’s sophomore offensive linemen in the class of 2024.
Additionally, Spiller stopped by Saluda (S.C.) High School, which is home to 2023 athlete Tyleke Mathis, who is followed by multiple Clemson assistants on Twitter.

Clemson’s tight ends coach and passing game coordinator has been the team’s most active coach on the recruiting trail thus far.
Though, Richardson was down in the Sunshine State on Thursday, passing through Golden Gate High School (Naples, Fla.), which is home to John Lee Honorat. The three-star athlete in the class of 2024 currently holds offers from schools like Austin Peay, Buffalo, FIU, Iowa State, Louisville and UMass.

Reed confirmed Hall’s visit to TCI and also informed us that he will be taking an official visit to Clemson June 3-5. Reed will be making his college decision come July 4.
Hall was at Callaway High School (Hogansville, Ga.) as well on Thursday.

Eason was also at Barnwell (S.C.) High School, which is home to prospects like 2023 athlete Clay Pender III and running back Tyler Smith.
