Clemson has already offered DT Eddie Goldman for next year's 2012 class as well as Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Boston College, Florida, Maryland, and many others.

According to SI:

If scholarship offers were the most effective barometer for measuring ability, Goldman would likely have the highest rating in the country. It's probably easier to name the schools that haven't offered the 6-4, 305-pounder than the schools that have.

Goldman has emerged as one of the premiere defenders in the 2012 class. With good size on the defensive interior, he has a unique blend of power and quick, active feet that allow him to be a disruptive force.

While playing both ways on the high school level, Goldman picked up 40 tackles, 5.5 sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery. His presence is felt on every play. On the college level, Goldman is undoubtedly a defensive lineman. While he prefers a 4-3 defense, he is one of the rare defenders who would be a good fit in any system.
