Four-star defensive end Malik Herring tweeted out Monday that Clemson is in his final group of five schools.

Clemson joins Alabama, LSU, Georgia and USC in the final five.

The consensus 4-star recruit has offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, California, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, UCLA, and USC among others.

In 2015, he had 74 tackles including 21 for loss, seven sacks, four pass deflections, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

He missed a majority of the 2014 season with an ACL tear in his left knee but appears to have fully recovered.
