An elite wide receiver from the Sunshine State is set for his first-ever trip to Tiger Town.

Carrollwood Day School (Tampa, Fla.) four-star Bredell Richardson – the nation’s No. 6 wideout in the 2024 class, per Rivals – will make his first visit to Clemson next week on Monday, April 4.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound sophomore told The Clemson Insider he is “excited” for the upcoming visit experience.

“I’m there the whole day,” he said. “Should be a great experience. Get to see everything.”

Clemson receivers coach Tyler Grisham has been showing substantial interest in Richardson, who has seen his recruiting stock continue to soar this calendar year as he’s added schools such as Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas, Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan State and Cincinnati to his offer list that already included Penn State, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Pittsburgh, NC State and many others.

Richardson told TCI he talks with Grisham on a weekly basis and that they “have really built a great and close connection.”

It’s clear that Grisham really likes Richardson and has the top-50 national prospect in the 2024 class, regardless of position, high on his recruiting board for receivers in the class.

“I know I’m one of his top guys and a very high target as he has said multiple times,” Richardson said of what he’s been hearing from Grisham, “and he said me coming up will be a special day and a great one (to) get to see the campus, meet all the staff, watch practice, see the facility, etc.”

Richardson, who recently visited South Florida, is also slated to see Georgia on April 5 and Alabama from April 15-16. He expects to fit more visits in between those trips, though nothing else is set in stone yet.

“I think I will be visiting a few schools in between,” he said, “but not 100 (percent sure) yet.”

Richardson told TCI earlier this month that it would “mean a lot to get an offer from such a prestigious program like Clemson,” and he feels “it could overall be a great fit” for him.

He’s been high on Clemson for quite some time. Now he’s simply looking forward to checking out the school and program in person for the first time next week.

“I’m very interested and open to the program,” he said. “It’s a program that breeds championships and I’m nothing less of that. That’s what you want to be a part of when you’re a winner!”

“Just ready to see for myself,” he added.

Richardson is ranked by Rivals as the No. 6 wide receiver and No. 32 overall prospect in the country for the 2024 class.

Clemson is showing substantial interest in an elite wide receiver from the Sunshine State who has seen his recruitment continue to take off this year.

Since the calendar turned to 2022, Tampa (Fla.) Carrollwood Day four-star Bredell Richardson – the No. 6 receiver and No. 32 overall prospect in the 2024 class, per Rivals – has added schools such as Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas and Cincinnati to his offer list that already included Penn State, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Pittsburgh, NC State and many others.

“It’s been good and interesting,” Richardson said of the recruiting process in a recent interview with The Clemson Insider. “Lots of schools have offered and like me a lot, which is a blessing, but it’s been good. Still taking it slow, though, not in any rush.”

Clemson, of course, takes the recruiting process slowly as well and has yet to offer any 2024 prospects, much less any receivers – a position the Tigers are always selective in recruiting and offering.

But there’s no doubt that Richardson is firmly on the radar of Clemson and receivers coach Tyler Grisham, who has been staying in touch with the 6-foot-1, 185-pound sophomore.

“He really likes me,” Richardson said. “He wants me to come up there so we can work out and so he can coach me. He loves the person I am and how I’m myself and how I would easily fit in the program and all the benefits of Clemson!”

Grisham invited Richardson to visit Clemson this Saturday, March 12. While Richardson didn’t rule out the possibility of traveling to Tiger Town, he didn’t expect to be able to make the trip due to a 7-on-7 competition.

Richardson said he has “built a good connection” with Grisham, and the interest from Grisham on behalf of the Tigers means a lot to Richardson.

“It’s big and it’s a blessing to get a lot of love from such a prestigious program (with) the winning culture and history,” he said.

Along with Clemson, Richardson named Alabama and schools like Texas, Texas A&M, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida State and Notre Dame as some of the ones he is feeling the most love from at this point in his recruitment.

“It’s really a lot of schools from all over,” he said. “I’m building a lot of relationships and talking to a lot of coaches!”

Richardson is really hoping to receive an offer from Dabo Swinney’s program moving forward and feels if he had the chance to play at Clemson, he would fit right in with the Tigers.

“It would mean a lot to get an offer from such a prestigious program like Clemson,” he said. “I like a lot about the school. It’s a school of champions. I like what Coach G has to offer and what Coach Dabo has to offer. I just would love the offer, and it could overall be a great fit for me.”
