Clemson the Favorite to Land the Nation's No. 1 2021 Recruit
By Jerry Trotta
In terms of recruiting efforts, Clemson is wasting no time putting their loss to LSU in the National Championship Game behind them.
Dabo Swinney has already managed eight public commitments in the 2021 class, but no visit was more important than the one his Tigers had over the weekend.
Korey Foreman, the No.1 ranked player in the 2021 class, is reportedly leaning towards calling Death Valley his college home after taking a visit to the school on Saturday.

Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, USC, and Oregon are all vying for Foreman's services, but 247Sports' ever-popular crystal ball presently sees Clemson with a 71% chance to land the 6-4, 265-pound talent.
The 5-star defensive end took his first visit to Death Valley over the summer less than a week after receiving an offer from the program. The Tigers have been leading the charge the entire way, and this report confirms they are still doing so.

Of course, nothing has been confirmed at this stage, and we'll certainly be keeping close tabs on Foreman's recruiting proceedings from here on out. For now, Clemson is leading the coveted chase.
