5. Demarkcus Bowman, 5-star RB/ Antoine Sampah, 5-star LB

We’ve got a tie for fifth place to kick off the list. One of the nation’s top running backs and one of the nation’s top linebackers.

Demarkcus Bowman would be a huge get for Clemson football, which will be in need of a couple of running backs in this class. The Tigers are heavily recruiting Bowman and it seems their main competition is Florida.

If the Tigers could swing Bowman, it would be a nice addition to this 2020 class.

Sampah is considered to be a Clemson lean, but he is still early in his recruitment. He’s strongly considering Alabama and Penn State and it will be interesting to see if the Tigers can get the talented and physical linebacker back on campus soon for another visit.
