Quote:Rivals.com National and ACC Recruiter of the Year
BRENT VENABLES, Clemson
Biggest gets: Five-star linebacker Tre Lamar, five-star linebacker Rahshaun Smith, four-star defensive end Xavier Kelly, four-star cornerback Trayvon Mullen
Buzz: Clemson’s defensive coordinator is Rivals.com’s Recruiter of the Year for the 2016 class after landing five-stars Tre Lamar and Rahshaun Smith and assisting fellow assistant Robbie Caldwell on five-star Dexter Lawrence. He also used his ties in Kansas to land two of the Sunflower State’s top three prospects in Xavier Kelly and three-star safety Isaiah Simmons, while being the lead recruiter on four-star Trayvon Mullen, three-star linebacker Jamie Skalski and others.
Quote:TIM BREWSTER, FSU
Biggest gets: Four-star tight end Naseir Upshur, four-star quarterback Malik Henry, four-star running back Amir Rasul, four-star linebacker Dontavious Jackson
Buzz: Florida State nearly pulled out its first team recruiting title, falling less than 100 points shy of Alabama and finishing second. Brewster expanded the Seminoles’ recruiting footprint by landing prospects from both coasts and getting into Texas as well. That Lone Star State pick up was a big one on Signing Day, getting Rivals250 linebacker Dontavious Jackson despite strong competition from Alabama and Texas.
Quote:JEFF SCOTT, WR, Clemson
Biggest gets: Four-star wide receiver T.J. Chase, four-star running back Tavien Feaster, four-star wide receiver Diondre Overton, four-star wide receiver Cornell Powell
Buzz: Scott is Clemson’s wide receivers coach, but he ends up being a factor in most of their offensive targets. This year he helped the Tigers roll up the nation’s No. 5 ranked recruiting class by landing several four-star skill position prospects. He kept Rivals250 running back Tavien Feaster in-state, then went into neighboring North Carolina for a pair of four-stars and down into Florida for Rivals250 wide receiver T.J. Chase.
Quote:RICK TRICKETT, Florida State
Biggest gets: Four-star offensive guard Landon Dickerson, four-star offensive tackle Mike Arnold, four-star offensive tackle Josh Ball, four-star offensive tackle Jauan Williams, four-star athlete Carlos Becker
Buzz: Florida State’s offensive line coach was critical in signing the Seminoles No. 2 ranked class in 2016. Six offensive linemen set the foundation for the class and Trickett was the lead recruiter on all, including Landon Dickerson, a Rivals100 offensive guard who announced his decision on Signing Day.
“Rick Trickett really knocked it out of the park. This is the best offensive line class they have had in the history of Florida State,” said Warchant.com’s Michael Langston.
