Weekend Visit Preview: Where biggest visits are happening

There are no official visitors expected at Clemson’s undefeated match-up against NC State on Saturday, but the list of prospects who will be unofficial visitors is a long and distinguished one, headlined by the No. 1-ranked prospect in the 2020 class, California quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei. No team has recruited the quarterback position like Clemson has in recent years. A few of those top signings have since transferred, but that only opens the door for Dabo Swinney and Co. to attract more top talent, such as Uiagalelei.
There should also be five-star representation from the 2019 class at Clemson this weekend. Quavaris Crouch has an official visit planned to Clemson for the Nov. 16 weekend, but could get an unofficial preview this upcoming weekend. Five-star offensive center Clay Webb is more of a sure thing to make Saturday’s game. Webb has yet to start taking official visits, but has made several unofficial visits to his top schools this fall.
The visit of Webb underscores an important recruiting question Clemson fans hope to get answered in the final months of the 2019 class, and that is offensive line recruiting. The Tigers have had some one-off successes at the position, signing prospects such as five-star Jackson Carman in 2018, but they are having trouble attracting numbers at the position and have just one offensive lineman currently committed for 2019.
