One of the top rising-junior defensive tackles in the nation included Clemson in his top schools list Thursday.

Powder Springs, Georgia product Jamil Burroughs left a Clemson visit with an offer in February and that made an impression, including Clemson in a group with Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina as his top-six.

As a sophomore at McEachern, Burroughs totaled 62 tackles, 13 for loss, with six sacks.

He also made stops at Auburn, Florida State, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia last month and is also getting interest from Ohio State and Michigan.

Burroughs is rated as the No. 3 defensive tackle in the 2020 class and No. 87 overall.
