The Clemson Tigers are campaigning in North Carolina’s capital in hopes of winning another frontline performer.
2027 defensive end Rashad Streets (6-4, 230) of Raleigh (NC) Millbrook recently received an offer from the Tigers, following a visit to campus for the LSU opener. Behind the scenes, the big-time pass rusher has been building a relationship with Chris Rumph and the Clemson staff, with that aforementioned LSU visit being the culmination of that progress.
For a place he’s always wanted to visit, he certainly chose quite the environment to take in, and his impression of what he saw was incredibly high.
“It was electric,” Streets said. “It was my first time, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was amazing; meeting the coaches and the staff was super cool too. Some takeaways I got from watching the defense are they are aggressive as a unit and their DL is top-notch; they have some really talented guys up front. It’s definitely a defense I can see myself fitting into.”
It is easy to see yourself fit into a program when the relationship with the staff is incredibly positive, especially with Rumph, who has been the focal point of Streets’ recruitment since early June.
“Coach Rumph is my guy,” Streets bragged. “He is really cool, and we talk on the phone a lot, and he is constantly checking in on me and giving me some things to work on to add to my game. He has been talking a lot since the class of 2027 contact date in June.”
Moving forward, Streets will be taking visits to South Carolina, Oregon, Ohio State, Tennessee, and other top programs. The list of interested suitors for the Millbrook prospect is incredibly high, with Clemson right in the thick of a heated race. Some of his other offers include Michigan, Georgia, Southern Cal, Texas A&M, Auburn, Florida, Miami, Ole Miss, North Carolina and Penn State.
As of right now, the Tigers have done pretty well to position themselves high, and in Streets’ eyes, Clemson checks all the boxes.
“They are a program that is near the top of the list for me right now,” he explained. “They check all the boxes, and it’s definitely a place I can see myself playing for the next chapter after high school. I will be trimming my list soon, and they are a program that will definitely continue to be one I build a relationship with!”
