Carver High School (Columbus, Ga.) four-star defensive lineman Darron Reed took his first official visit to Clemson this weekend and came away impressed after the trip to Tiger Town.
Reed enjoyed his time during the Tigers’ big official visit weekend, as did his family, and he spoke with The Clemson Insider about his experience after the visit wrapped up Sunday.
What stood out the most to you about the Clemson official visit?
Reed: “The coaches, talking with (defensive tackles) coach (Nick) Eason. … Just having a great conversation about football, and how real he is.”
What was the highlight of the official visit?
Reed: “Going to Coach (Dabo) Swinney’s house, seeing him out there hooping.”
Who came with you on the visit?
Reed: “My dad and my brother and my auntie.”
How did your family enjoy it?
Reed: “They enjoyed it also.”
Who was your player host, and what was it like spending time with him?
Reed: “(Redshirt senior defensive end) Justin Mascoll, and it was awesome. We chilled. He told me how good Clemson was and all that.”
What was the overall message from the coaches to you during the visit?
Reed: “They were happy I was there.”
Where does Clemson stand with you after the official visit weekend?
Reed: “They’re still up there for me.”
Reed, who received an offer from Clemson in early January, is considered a four-star prospect by all the major recruiting services.
