Several Clemson targets for 2020 were rated in Rivals.com's top-10 prospects released Monday.

The headliner is quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei (Bellflower, Calif.) at No. 1 overall, coming on the heels of a big campus stop last week.

“It's the best visit I've had so far. Those other schools were good, but that was the best visit by far,” he told TigerNet afterward. “I've been to other schools, but Clemson had every single point that I am looking for in a college. Every single one. It was amazing.”

Another recent Clemson camp visitor in the top-10 is linebacker prospect Sav'ell Smalls (Seattle, Wash.) at No. 3, who told TigerNet he loved his stop in town as well and described Clemson as "a great program top to bottom."

Other new top-10 members with Clemson offers include No. 2-rated and outside linebacker prospect Justin Flowe, who said Clemson was a "a dream scholarship offer," No. 3-rated and defensive end prospect Bryan Bresee, who is No. 1-rated on 247Sports, No. 8-rated and outside linebacker prospect Mekhail Sherman and No. 9-rated and athlete prospect Arik Gilbert.
