1. Payton Page, 5-star DT

Perhaps the top prospect in this 2021 class is 5-star DT Payton Page.

Page is a 6-foot-4, 315 pound monster who has the ability to make an immediate impact and could be a nice complement to the pieces the Tigers already have.

Could you imagine a monster like Page lining up beside Demonte Capehart, Bryan Bresee and Myles Murphy? It’d certainly be a sight that no opposing offensive line would want to see.

Page is considered a Clemson lean at this point and the Tigers will look to continue to build a relationship with the star-studded defensive line through the spring and into the summer.

Next. Clemson continues to reload, not rebuild. dark

There are several other prospects that Clemson will be heavily targeting through the spring- especially based on need at a position- but these guys are clearly high on the Tigers’ board as the 2021 recruiting cycle picks up.
