Top 2017 prospect talks Clemson

By Hale McGranahan.

CHARLOTTE – It’s no secret which 2017 prospect TCI thinks is the best player in the state of South Carolina.

Lake Marion’s Davondre ‘Tank’ Robinson is listed as a four-star by 247, Scout and Rivals. 247, the only network to rank instate sophomores, lists him as the No. 2 prospect in South Carolina.

Georgia, Louisville, UNC, South Carolina Tennessee, and Wake Forest are among the schools that have already offered the 5-11, 190-pound safety.

Clemson defensive ends coach Marion Hobby stopped by Lake Marion earlier this spring, just weeks after Robinson grabbed his offer from the Tigers at Junior Day.

“We just started — when I got the offer, we just started communicating more,” Robinson said, during an interview with TheClemsonInsider.

At the The Opening-Charlotte, Robinson ran 4.74 in the 40 and notched 32.3 inches in the vertical jump.

Clemson will pursue him and several other safeties for their 2017 haul.

“It’s a nice program. They’ve got one of our players from there, Mike Williams is there, so I know a little bit about it,” Robinson said.

He plans to return to campus next month.

“I’m going to try to get to one of their camps this summer,” Robinson said.
