Clemson brought in a familiar name with a familiar skillset at cornerback.
More on Westlake (Ga.) cornerback Avieon Terrell… Committed since: 6/6/22. Listed size: 6-0 175. Notable: Terrell is the brother of Atlanta Falcons standout cornerback and former Tiger AJ Terrell, who was a top-10 NFL draft selection in 2020. Terrell brought down four interceptions and tallied 33 tackles (4 for loss) as a senior, adding 971 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns in MaxPreps’ latest updated stats. Aa a junior, Terrell tallied 44 tackles and two interceptions. Other top offers Terrell picked up before his commitment included Florida, Georgia, Florida State, LSU, Miami, Tennessee, USC and Texas among more FBS schools. He received his Clemson offer in April 2020, which was about 13 months ahead of the usual schedule for Clemson offers being handed out in his class. Mike Reed on Terrell: "He's very familiar with the program. The discipline, the family atmosphere, the development not only as a player but also as a man. Ever since he was a young kid coming to our football camp, when his brother was a player, he was a young man who dominated...If I'm a quarterback, I don't even throw the ball to his side...He has great ball skills. He's a young man that when the ball is in his hands, he can take it the distance on an interception." Quotable: “Clemson already feels like home. Clemson felt like home for my brother. And even if he didn’t go to Clemson, that would be my dream school. It was dream school before he went there.” - Avieon said during his recruitment process (Source). Depth chart fit: Clemson is slated to lose one starter in Sheridan Jones and Nate Wiggins figures to hold on to the other starting job, while talented rising sophomores Toriano Pride and Jeadyn Lukus should move into more prominent roles. Clemson doesn’t shy away from playing young defensive backs though, as they didn’t with his brother, and Terrell will get his chance to compete for early playing time in the preseason.
