Clemson football: Full List of Early Enrollees for 2021

A full list of early enrollees for Clemson football in 2021

The 2021 Clemson football offseason is officially underway and one of the most exciting steps every year is seeing the new freshmen arrive on campus and begin their activities with the team.

Though we won’t officially get to see the incomers for a few more months- when spring practice begins- the early enrollees have already arrived on campus and are going to classes.

For Clemson football fans wondering who has already enrolled and who won’t be enrolling until the summer, here’s a full list.

Early Enrollees (12):

• 5-star RB Will Shipley
• 4-star LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
• 4-star TE Jake Briningstool
• 4-star WR Beaux Collins
• 4-star WR Dacari Collins
• 4-star DE Cade Denhoff
• 4-star CB Nathaniel Wiggins
• 4-star OG Marcus Tate
• 4-star DT Payton Page
• 4-star S Andrew Mukuba
• 4-star C Ryan Linthicum
• 4-star RB Phil Mafah

Summer Enrollees (7):

• 5-star OT Tristan Leigh
• 5-star LB/S Barrett Carter
• 4-star WR Troy Stellato
• 4-star DE Zaire Patterson
• 4-star OL Dietrick Pennington
• 3-star QB Bubba Chandler
• 3-star QB/ATH Will Taylor

All star-ratings are according to 247 Sports’ composite player rankings. There are 12 early enrollees in this class and seven players who are planning to enroll in the summer.

This freshman class can be special for Clemson football

There are several talented players in this group that can be special before their Clemson football career comes to a close.

From the early enrollee group, keep your eye on Will Shipley to see how he performs in competition at running back and how the Tigers choose to use him.

Two of the most exciting prospects- 5-star OT Tristan Leigh and 5-star LB/S Barrett Carter– won’t arrive until later in the summer, but look for both of those  guys to make a quick transition and find themselves on the field sooner rather than later.

We’ll have much more on this freshman class as we progress through the next couple of months heading towards spring practice.
