Clemson beats Miami, again

Clemson beat Miami again on Thursday. In the morning, the Tigers offered one of the top 2018 prospects from Broward County.

Brent Venables, who recruits the Miami area for Clemson, passed along the news of Tyson Campbell’s very first offer. The Hurricanes made it two for Campbell later that afternoon.

He’s accumulated 16 tackles and has a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown this season for American Heritage High School in Plantation.

“Really excited, truly humbled and blessed. I really didn’t think I was going to be offered that early…really surprised, but excited at the same time,” he said of the Clemson offer.

On Saturday, Campbell was over at Sun Life Stadium for Clemson’s 58-0 win.

“They were dominating,” Campbell said. “I actually left at halftime, but I was watching Clemson’s DBs and they were real physical. I’m a physical corner and I liked how they were being physical with U-M’s receivers.

“And they were doing a lot of talking. I enjoyed that, too.”

Campbell was happy about the offer from Miami, despite the program’s transition at head coach.

“I’ve always been a fan of U-M. I’ve liked them since I was little, so I’m a big fan. I still like them, even though they’re going through some things,” he said.

If it were up to him, Miami would hire Alabama offensive line coach Mario Cristobal.

“Me and some of the other players at Heritage took a college tour and did some camps, and met coach Cristobal at Alabama,” Campbell said. “He was real cool. I liked him. He was showing us the facility and introduced us to some players. I really liked hearing from him.”

The Heritage group also visited Tennessee, Georgia, LSU and Florida.
