TigerNet spoke with O'Neal after Clemson coach Dabo Swinney had an in-home visit this week.

"Coach (Swinney) the truth," O'Neal said.

O'Neal is excited about the offer from Clemson.

"They have been a priority to get to know more and couldn't be more excited about them," O'Neal said. "Their message is that my leadership on the defensive side of the ball is what they need and how they only build up character up there."

In 2016, O'Neal had 114 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.
