Five-star cornerback recruit Daylen Everette has decommitted from the Clemson Tigers. Everette decided to reopen his recruitment after former Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables decided to take the head coaching job with the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Georgia Bulldogs were among the top five schools in the hunt to secure a commitment from five-star defensive back Daylen Everette.
The University of Georgia offered Everette a scholarship early in his recruiting process in December 2019. Everette is a member of the class of 2022 and plays football at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
Before transferring to IMG Academy, Everette played football at Norview High School in Norfolk, Virginia.
Now, Everette committed to Clemson over Georgia, UNC, Oregon, and FSU. back on July 17.
Everette has a background running track and is ranked as one of the top prospects in the country. He is the No. 29 prospect in his class and the No. 6 cornerback recruit.
The five-star corner visited Alabama following his decommitment. The Crimson Tide are certainly in the mix for Everette. UGA already has commitments from three cornerbacks in the class of 2022, so it would be unlikely for the Dawgs to take many more, but Everette has the talent to fit into any recruiting class.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior has an elite list of offers, including from Florida, LSU, Oklahoma and Miami.
