Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney hit the recruiting trail Thursday.

Swinney was spotted at IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.), as he had yet to make his “in-home visit” with Clemson’s IMG commits. He posed for a picture with former Clemson running back Terrence Flagler, who is now the running backs coach/offensive coordinator for the IMG post-graduate team.

IMG Academy, of course, is home to four-star defensive end Jihaad Campbell, who elected to decommit from Clemson Thursday.

Campbell joins four-star athlete Keon Sabb as the second IMG defender to decommit from Clemson, following the departure of Brent Venables to Oklahoma.

With six days remining until the early signing period, that leaves four-star cornerback Daylen Everette as the lone, remaining Clemson commit from IMG.

Swinney, Clemson defensive coaches to see commits in Florida Thursday

As The Clemson Insider previously reported, Clemson’s coaches are expected to be making their rounds on the recruiting trail in The Sunshine State on Thursday.

TCI has confirmed that Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Brent Venables will be at Jesuit High School (Tampa, Fla.) to visit with three-star linebacker commit Wade Woodaz.

Woodaz (6-2, 205) verbally committed to Clemson on Thanksgiving Day, becoming the 14th prospect to offer their pledge to the Tigers in the 2022 recruiting class.

While in the state of Florida, Swinney and Venables are also expected to head to IMG Academy in Bradenton to visit with three commits in the 2022 class — four-star athlete Keon Sabb, four-star defensive end Jihaad Campbell and four-star cornerback Daylen Everette.

In addition to his visit(s) with Clemson commits, Swinney will be traveling back to The Palmetto State to make an in-home visit with wide receivers coach Tyler Grisham. The two will head to Irmo (S.C.) to visit with Dutch Fork four-star wide receiver Antonio Williams, his mother, Courtney, confirmed to TCI.

Williams (6-0, 180) was offered by Clemson prior to the team’s 48-27 win over Wake Forest and announced the offer he’d been waiting on surely thereafter.

As Clemson looks to add another receiver to its 2022 recruiting class, Williams appears to be the team’s current top target.

Clemson scores another big commitment in four-star CB Daylen Everette

Clemson struck again on the recruiting trail on Saturday afternoon, scoring a commitment from four-star CB Daylen Everette.

Clemson struck again on the recruiting trail on Saturday afternoon just after the commitment of four-star athlete Keon Sabb, as Sabb’s IMG Academy teammate Daylen Everette offered his pledge to the Tigers.

Everette picked Clemson over Florida State, Georgia and North Carolina, among others. Everette faked out the Tar Heels during his announcement on CBS Sports HQ, picking up a North Carolina hat before tossing it to the side and putting a Clemson cap on his head.

“My relationship with coach [Mike] Reed and coach [Brent] Venables, I’ve been talking to them for two years and we have a strong relationship,” Everette said, per 247Sports. “They’re real cool people you can talk to and talking to them, it’s not always about football. You can talk to them about personal stuff and they’re always there to talk if you need anything and it shows they care for their players.

“When I first got to campus, I felt like home and I could really see myself there. I love the people, the coaches and the campus and I could really see myself getting developed and going to the next level and that’s one of my dreams. I feel like going they can help me get to there.”

Everette held nearly 30 offers at the time of his commitment to Clemson. The IMG Academy product is the No. 4 cornerback and No. 22 overall recruit in the class of 2022, according to 247Sports. His scouting report reads:

Well-put together athlete with longer limbs. Has developed some muscle in the arms. Sprinter-like quads. A bigger cornerback that thrives in bump-and-run situations. Also capable of mirroring in off coverage with his quick feet and loose hips. Uses a strong punch to redirect at the line of scrimmage and get plays off schedule. Instincts allow him to feel out routes. Has played some offense in the past. Times jumps well. Fights through blocks to provide run support, but will need to find more leverage at the next level if he’s going to take down college-sized running backs in the open field. Hasn’t posted any verified testing numbers, but has reportedly broke 4.4 in the 40-yard dash. Picked off 11 passes as a sophomore playing in one of Virginia’s higher classifications before transferring into the powerhouse that is IMG Academy. Didn’t see many, if any, balls come his way as a junior. Highly respected by the support staff in Bradenton. One of the top corner prospects in the class of 2022 given frame and movement patterns. Has the skillset to develop into an impact player for a Top 25 program and eventually a Day 1 or Day 2 pick in the NFL Draft.

Clemson has now landed back-to-back commitments from teammates on Saturday afternoon.

After landing the commitment of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star athlete Keon Sabb, the Tigers got a verbal pledge from four-star cornerback Daylen Everette, around an hour later.

Everette (6-1, 180) officially picked Clemson over programs like UNC, Florida State, Georgia and Oregon. 

He ranks as the No. 4 cornerback and No. 22 overall prospect in the country for the 2022 class by 247Sports.

Everette now becomes the third member of Clemson’s 2022 recruiting class by way of IMG Academy, joining Sabb and four-star defensive end Jihaad Campbell. 

He transferred to IMG last season, earning one of the academy’s starting cornerbacks spots after arriving from Norview (Norfolk, Va.), where he intercepted 11 passes.

The addition of Everette to the fold certainly bolsters Clemson’s secondary.

The Tigers have now secured commitments from four defensive backs since June began. Sabb and now Everette join Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, Va.) four-star safety Sherrod Covil and Lutheran North (St. Louis, Mo.) four-star corner Toriano Pride.
