West Forsyth High School (N.C.) product K.J. Henry announced on ESPNU his early signing decision picking Clemson, taking the Tigers over Virginia Tech, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia.

Henry capped a phenomenal Wednesday for Dabo Swinney's program, as a fourth 5-star prospect to sign with Clemson.

In addition to top-rated QB Trevor Lawrence and offensive tackle Jackson Carman, no prospect was happier to add another elite signee than fellow five-star defensive end Xavier Thomas, joining the chorus of praise for the commitment on Twitter Wednesday afternoon:
