Clemson defensive tackle, Scott Pagano recently announced his decision to leave the program just a few months removed from winning the National Championship. Since announcing his intentions, Pagano has been hearing from programs across the country.

Pagano recently finalized his official visits with the following five schools.

Notre Dame:

Pagano plans to visit the Fighting Irish on March 24th. Notre Dame has had their fare share of players from Hawaii under Brian Kelly, most notably Manti Te’o. Should Pagano join the Notre Dame program, he would immediately bolster their defensive line.

Oklahoma:

More from Rubbing the Rock

Pagano plans to visit Norman, Oklahoma on March 31st. The Sooners defense was downright atrocious at times last season. Pagano would provide Oklahoma with a high energy space eater in the middle of their lackluster defense.

Arkansas:

Pagano plans to visit Fayetteville on April 7th. Head coach Brett Beleima enters the 2017 season on the hot seat as the Razorback’s under performed last season. Pagano would be a warm welcome on the Arkansas defense who faces some of the country’s premiere running back’s in the SEC.

Texas:

Pagano plants to visit the Five Acres on April 14th. Tom Herman is entering his first season under the helm in Austin. Bringing in Scott Pagano would help strengthen the Longhorns front seven as they take on some of the best passing offenses in the country in the Big 12.

Oregon:

Pagano plans to visit Eugene on April 21st. His stop to see the Ducks and head coach Willie Taggart will be his last official visit before making a decision. Taggart is known for his ability to recruit, as such I like Oregon’s chances at snagging the services of Scott Pagano.
