Sometimes the best work is done behind the scenes.
Clemson has wanted to add a third LB to the 2024 class for months, and 4-star Bradley Shaw has always been the lone target. Until now.
CJ Kubah-Taylor (Good Counsel, Olney Md) told All Clemson Tigers that he plans to visit Clemson on Friday. No offer has been announced yet, but expect that to change with the upcoming visit.
Kubah-Taylor is a teammate of 4-star DE commit Darien Mayo, and was named All Conference this season, while playing beside one of the top LB prospects in the country in 4-star Aaron Chiles.
One source that has watched him play says that he is severely undervalued by the recruiting services.
"This kid is the real deal," the source said. "If he didn't have Aaron Chiles, the Florida commit playing next to him... He is definitely a dude. Very, very athletic and smart. I'm telling you he is a baller."
With Shaw taking so long to come to a final decision, and now leaning towards Arkansas, the Clemson coaching staff quickly moved on and indetified the 6-foot-3, 230-pound LB as the new target.
This will be an official visit and his list of offers won't blow anyone away, as Clemson will be the first Power-5 team to offer, but the staff has liked what they have seen.
With the early siging period begining on Wednesday, don't expect this one to drag out. In fact, it should be wrapped up pretty quickly. The Tigers already have two LBs on board in 5-star Sammy Brown and 3-star Drew Woodaz. The third spot opened up after the dismissal of TJ Dudley back in the summer.
