Clemson listed as finalist by top-40 2023 recruit

One day after Clemson hosted official visits for 30 different 2023 recruits, a highly-touted safety has put the Tigers in his final eight.

According to On3Recruits, four-star safety Derek Williams has trimmed his list down to Clemson, Miami, LSU, Texas, Alabama, Michigan, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. Out of Westgate High School in New Iberia, La., Williams is 6-foot-2 and weighs 185 pounds. 247Sports Composite ranks him as the No. 2 safety and No. 38 overall national recruit in the class of 2023.

Over the past several days, other four-star recruits have listed Clemson as a finalist, including edge defender Colton Vasek and cornerback Damari Brown.

Clemson’s current 2023 class has four verbal commitments: four-star quarterback Christopher Vizzina, four-star wide receiver Nathaniel Joseph, four-star edge David Ojiegbe and three-star cornerback Branden Strozier.
