3. How do rival programs finish the early cycle?
In addition to keeping up with the Tigers, Clemson football fans should keep their eyes on how rival programs are recruiting.
As we head into Early National Signing Day, here are few notable rankings for competing programs across the nation (according to the 247 Sports’ Composite Team Rankings):
- Alabama (No. 2)
- LSU (No. 3)
- Ohio State (No. 4)
- Texas A&M (No. 5)
- Georgia (No. 6)
- Miami (No. 15)
- North Carolina (No. 17)
- South Carolina (No. 18)
- Georgia Tech (No. 23)
- Florida State (No. 26)
Alabama, LSU, Ohio State and Georgia look to be the programs that will continue to compete with Clemson in the future in the national picture. In terms of the ACC, it’s interesting to see Miami, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Florida State all ranked inside the top-30.
It will be interesting to see how these programs finish out the cycle, particularly during the Early National Signing Day, and what the rankings look like following this week.
