TigerNet spoke with Slade Jr. on Friday morning and he is excited about the offer from the Tigers. "It's a great offer to get, and I like the way the coaches carry themselves." He would also like to eventually come down for a visit to Clemson.

Slade has already tied a VHSL state record by scoring eight touchdowns in a game.

He is a teammate and good friends with 2015 offensive lineman target Matt Burrell.
