One of Clemson’s top targets has only been on the big board for one month. Still, that lack of time doesn’t mean he isn’t incredibly important to the Tigers’ goals for the 2027 class.
Edge rusher Rashad Streets (6-4, 230) of Raleigh Millbrook was another star for the Wildcats on Friday night, contributing heavily to a 28-0 victory over Leesville Road. Following the win, Streets broke down the importance of the result, feeling like his team treats every game the same.
“I think we try to approach every game like it’s the most important one of the season,” Streets said. “I think the performance just comes from preparation, watching film, seeing their tendencies, and just taking advantage of it.”
Much like his teammate Quinton Cypher, he has incredible talent and holds tremendous interest from the Tigers. Linebackers coach Ben Boulware was on campus to see both targets, ensuring the two know where they stand within Clemson’s big board.
“It means a lot,” Streets explained. “Just to have him watching where he can be anywhere, and my relationship with Clemson is pretty good. I talk with Coach Rumph a lot, and I keep in touch with Coach Allen frequently.”
Streets was on campus for Clemson’s opener with LSU, and his visit schedule continues to be busy as the fall continues. He was in Tallahassee for Florida State’s matchup with Miami, and he has trips planned to see USC, Ohio State, Georgia, Oregon, and Nebraska.
Those schools, along with Clemson, are getting these visits because he considers them contenders for his services. Before the postseason begins and after visits conclude, Streets feels like he will have a better idea of which programs have risen to the top of his list.
“I feel like my top 12 is close to dropping,” he stated. “Just taking these visits for that purpose, I would say my top 12 would probably drop before the playoffs start.”
As far as Clemson is concerned, the Tigers have done a solid job of continuing to build the relationship since the offer was extended in September. Tom Allen’s defense has high interest in Streets, and that is certainly being reciprocated on Streets’ end.
“I think the connection and the relationship I’ve built with the people at Clemson are pretty high, and they are a school I’m very interested in.”
This season, Streets has 29 total tackles with 13 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and 15 quarterback hurries. He has also caused four fumbles and recovered two.
