Clemson signed one of the nation’s best cornerbacks in Atlanta, Georgia defender
Nathaniel Wiggins.
More on Wiggins... Nate Wiggins - 4-star CB - Atlanta, Ga. Committed since: 12/12/20. Listed size: 6-2 170. Early enrollee Brings to Clemson: Wiggins is a big, ball-hawking cornerback whose game video is just him making play after play after play on offense, defense and special teams. Clemson needed to bring in an elite cornerback in this class after some misses and it was quite the coup to flip him from LSU less than a week to the start of the early signing period. Depth chart fit: Wiggins is expected to enroll early and have a chance to compete early. There aren’t any seniors in Clemson’s cornerback room, but Derion Kendrick has had early-round NFL draft projections during the draft site evaluation process, which could clear some room. Mike Reed on Wiggins: "When you look at this young man, you see a highly-versatile athlete...Very explosive with the ball in his hands...Exceptional body control. Fast. Will provide much-needed help on our special teams return units."
