Clemson is set to host a slew of standout prospects for Saturday’s game against No. 10 Wake Forest at Death Valley.

One of the headlining visitors will be Fort Mill (S.C.) Catawba Ridge quarterback Jadyn Davis, the No. 1 overall prospect in the country for the 2024 class, per 247Sports.

The 6-foot, 185-pound sophomore holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland and Oregon.

As for the 2023 class, one of the headliners expected to be on hand is Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek four-star Caleb Downs. The nation’s No. 1 safety in his class, per 247Sports, confirmed to The Clemson Insider that he plans to return to campus this weekend after previously visiting Clemson for the Boston College game in early October.

Roswell (Ga.) Blessed Trinity Catholic four-star running back Justice Haynes will also be back on campus for Saturday’s game. The nation’s No. 1 running back in the 2023 class, according to Rivals, received an offer from Clemson after competing at the Dabo Swinney Camp this past summer. Haynes’ father told us they are excited to be coming back to Tiger Town.
