Clemson went to a familiar name with a defensive signing in linebacker
Kobe McCloud.
More on McCloud... Committed since: 1/25/22. Listed size: 6-1 208. Notable: McCloud is the brother of former Tiger and current Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, as well as Arizona Wildcats QB Jordan McCloud. McCloud was a commitment to FIU until January. He was credited with 70 tackles, 12 for loss, with three interceptions and two pass breakups as a senior. Quotable: “They love how versatile I am. Whenever I come in, they said wherever I fit in the best first year they’ll like me. They know I can cover, and I’ll hit, and matchup on tight ends. They like how I can play any of those positions. Sideline to sideline, that’s my strength,” - McCloud on what he’s heard from Clemson’s coaches. Depth chart fit: McCloud will have some work to do in the strength and conditioning program before hitting the field, but he will hit campus as one of just two linebacker signees this class, along with fellow three-star Floridian Wade Woodaz.

Clemson director of recruiting Jordan Sorrells on McCloud: "Kobe is one those guys who was probably under-recruited. A late-bloomer if you will. But as we watched him and tracked him through the fall, it was really neat to say this kid has really developed and come along and so a really good player. Violent. Physical. And a guy we're really excited about." Official ??@Kmccloud3423 pic.twitter.com/IZ3VU4OMxi #ALLIN ???? https://t.co/d69pOD714lSignee analysis: Kobe McCloud - 3-star LB - Tampa, Florida
