The Clemson Insider caught up this week with a top receiver target for the Tigers who was in Death Valley twice this season.
Buford (Ga.) High School’s Jordan Allen visited Clemson for the Florida State and Notre Dame games, and he continues to be in frequent contact with members of the staff including receivers coach Tyler Grisham.
Allen became just the second receiver in the 2025 class to get an offer from Clemson when he was on campus for the FSU game in late September, and according to Allen, Grisham has made it clear that he’s a priority prospect.
“He’s just saying he wants me,” Allen said. “He keeps stressing that Clemson is a great place for me and I fit the Clemson description, and he just would really, really love if I can get up there.”
Hearing that from Grisham is something Allen certainly appreciates, especially considering how Clemson goes about its business in the recruiting process.
“I’m very grateful and thankful for it,” he said. “Because Clemson, they’re very selective with who they want and everything. They don’t offer until your junior year and all that stuff. So, it’s an honor just to be recruited by a great program like Clemson and be one of their top guys.”
Allen, who has accumulated close to 20 total offers, named some other schools he’s been feeling the most love from lately along with Clemson.
“Definitely Clemson, Georgia, Kansas, UCF and Tennessee,” he said.
Allen said Clemson “definitely” remains high on his list. Looking ahead, he doesn’t have a set date for when he will make his commitment decision, but said he’d ideally like to have his recruitment wrapped up either before his senior season next year or sometime at the beginning of the season.
Going into the final game of his junior season this year, Allen had tallied 33 catches for 565 yards and two touchdowns. What will the speedster bring to the table for whichever school he chooses to play for in the future?
“Just to be that explosive and quick, fast slot guy that can just change the game,” he said, “and just make plays and provide for the team.”
