Top-100 national recruit still interested in Clemson, eyeing Death Valley visit

A top-100 national prospect from the Volunteer State on Clemson’s recruiting radar remains interested in the Tigers and is looking to visit Death Valley for a game this season. Lipscomb Academy (Nashville, Tenn.) four-star linebacker Edwin Spillman …

A top-100 national prospect from the Volunteer State on Clemson’s recruiting radar remains interested in the Tigers and is looking to visit Death Valley for a game this season.

Lipscomb Academy (Nashville, Tenn.) four-star linebacker Edwin Spillman – a 6-foot-2, 220-pound rising junior in the class of 2024 – recently told The Clemson Insider that he’s eyeing a trip to Tiger Town during the upcoming college football campaign.

“I was not able to make it to Clemson for a visit (this summer),” Spillman said, “but I do want to head over there for a game this year.”

Spillman – a top-100 national prospect in the 2024 class regardless of position, according to both Rivals (No. 72) and the 247Sports Composite (No. 98) – previously visited Clemson in June 2021, when he participated in four sessions of the Dabo Swinney Camp across two full days.

Spillman has stayed in touch from time to time with his area recruiter for Clemson, defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall, as well as defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Wes Goodwin.

While Spillman hasn’t been in contact with the Tigers lately, he expects that to change come Sept. 1, when college coaches are allowed to begin actively reaching out to class of 2024 prospects.

“I am still young in the recruiting process,” he said. “I think that’ll all change on September 1st though.”

This summer, Spillman was able to visit Oklahoma, Ohio State and Tennessee.

The Sooners, Buckeyes and Volunteers have all offered Spillman, who owns 20-plus total offers including other offers from schools such as Georgia, Michigan, NC State, Notre Dame and Texas A&M, to name some.

Spillman mentioned Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan State and Texas A&M as schools he feels are showing the most love to him at this point in the recruiting process.

As for Clemson, Spillman is still high on the Tigers heading into his upcoming junior season.

“Right now I am still pretty interested in Clemson,” he said. “Coach Swinney has created an amazing culture and legacy over there.”

Spillman is ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the state of Tennessee, No. 5 outside linebacker nationally and No. 72 overall prospect in the 2024 class by Rivals, while the 247Sports Composite tabs him as the top prospect in the Volunteer State, No. 9 linebacker nationally and No. 98 overall prospect in his class.

Top-100 national recruit staying in touch with Tigers, planning return visit to Clemson

Clemson will get one of the nation’s top-ranked linebackers and a top-100 national prospect from the Volunteer State back on campus this summer.

Lipscomb Academy (Nashville, Tenn.) four-star Edwin Spillman – the No. 4 outside linebacker and No. 74 overall prospect in the 2024 class, per Rivals – has been staying in touch with members of Clemson’s coaching staff and plans to return to Tiger Town this summer.

“They are trying to get me back up soon,” Spillman told The Clemson Insider, “and I’ll head up there this summer for a visit/camp.”

Spillman previously visited Clemson last June, when he participated in four sessions of the Dabo Swinney Camp across two full days.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound rising junior looks forward to getting back on campus.

“Really excited,” he said. “Going to be a fun time!”

Spillman communicates from time to time with his area recruiter for Clemson, defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall, as well as defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Wes Goodwin.

“We will talk every now and then to build up relationships,” he said.

Spillman owns an offer list comprised of more than a dozen Power Five programs, including Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi State, NC State, Wake Forest, Boston College, Arizona State and others.

Although the Tigers haven’t yet offered Spillman – they’ve only offered a couple of prospects in the 2024 class thus far – Clemson is one of the schools standing out to him at this stage of his recruiting process, and he feels good about his chances of earning an offer from the Tigers moving forward.

“I think I got good chances of getting the offer,” he said. “It would mean a lot, because I have always liked Clemson, so it would mean a lot.”
