Ousmane Sylla is generating attention from European clubs.
Per Tom Bogert, European clubs have taken an interest in Clemson Men’s Soccer player Ousmane Sylla. We aren’t talking about the beasts in Europe, but it is still notable that a few from across the pond have taken note of Sylla’s talents.
Sources: European clubs looking at Clemson winger/potential top 10 MLS SuperDraft pick Ousmane Sylla.

Kubah-Taylor is a linebacker who is on his official visit to Clemson this weekend. The Early Signing Day is December 20th.
Shortly after Kubah-Taylor made the announcement, Jason Priester from All Clemson Tigers posted a familiar message.

For those who don’t follow Priester, the shades mean that he is projecting a player to commit to Clemson. The timing of this one is fairly demonstrative.

Thomas had 24 total tackles, 2 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery in 2023. He has 115 tackles and 16.5 sacks for his Clemson career, which dates back to 2018. He did miss much of that time due to COVID and injuries. He has confirmed that he will play in the Gator Bowl, and it would be great to see another Thomas sack or two.
