Clemson commits On Thursday night, Davis Allen and Brannon Spector played big roles in Calhoun’s 45-21 victory over Ridgeland. Spector finished with 103 yards on eight receptions and a touchdown. Allen is going to Clemson as a tight end, but the 6-foot-5, 240-pounder made numerous plays from the inside linebacker position in this game. He had a sack, a pick six and a handful of big hits. Neither prospect gets the notoriety that they deserve and each are on track to be contributors in the ACC.
Andrew Booth and Joseph Charleston squared off Friday night. Charleston’s team, Milton, won 21-19 over Archer. Both Tiger commits had their moments.
Charleston has some big tackles early and for someone who missed much of the spring, he looked healthy, strong and ready to have a big senior season. He is an enforcer on the back end of the defense. He was playing strong and fast Friday night. He gave up a touchdown in the second half, but it was a great pass by the opposing quarterback, who put it in the perfect spot.
Booth, as expected, had a strong performance at cornerback. He was not tested too often. His biggest play of the game came on offense, when he made a diving catch on a long third-down conversion in the first half. He showed great speed and his length and quickness at cornerback stood out.
Clemson has six commitments in Georgia and likely will add another one soon, so Dabo Swinney and his staff are doing a great job in the Peach State again this cycle.

Rome has not lost a game in 47 weeks. Two-time state champs in 5-A beat 7-A Maretta 51-41. Has a bunch of studs. Running back is a NC STATE commitment. Has a junior Tackle 6-4 285. Coach requires all his kids to be good citizens. For some reason Clemson never gives Rome a sniff???Yet Calhoun and Cartersville are both within 20 miles .

How do you know our staff does not give Rome a sniff? Perhaps the UGA bagman has a stronghold on that area or the players there have preferred other schools. Perhaps if you provided a list of D1 players who have signed out of that high school we could give you a little more perspective
