4. Which early enrollees make an impact?

A question that we ask every single year during spring practice is how the early enrollees are performing.

New talent and new faces are always exciting and this 2021 Clemson football recruiting class is no exception.

Here’s a look at the early enrollees for the spring (ratings courtesy of 247 Sports’ Composite Player Rankings):

  • 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

Talk about a wave of talent?

There are several guys that we believe could make an immediate impact in this group including: Will Shipley, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Jake Briningstool, the Collins WR duo, Nathaniel Wiggins, Payton Page, Andrew Mukuba, Ryan Linthicum and Phil Mafah (if healthy) and it will be interesting to see what they’re able to accomplish.
