Momentum on the recruiting trail is real. If you’re Clemson, it’s spectacular.

Recruiting was Dabo Swinney’s calling card when he got the job as full-time head coach in 2009. It wasn’t long before the Tigers started recruiting with some of the big boys in college football.

After years of raking in some of the best and most highly sought after prospects in the country, Clemson is most certainly a big boy.

Recruiting coordinator Brandon Streeter worked as an assistant at Richmond, Liberty and Charleston Southern before he was hired over a year ago. When you’re one of the big boys in college football, it’s easy to feel welcomed.

“It’s amazing when you win games — how much of an impact it makes when you walk into a high school,” he said, “So I’m just proud to be apart of this program.”

It runs deep for Streeter. The former Clemson quarterback is one of several former Tigers on the staff. Tight ends coach Danny Pearman played tight end for the Tigers. The co-offensive coordinators, Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott, played wide receiver.

Those assistants, along with the other five full-time coaches, manage to keep the cupboard stock full of talent.

“Obviously, it stems from coach Swinney. He’s a great recruiter,” Streeter said. “Anytime we can get a kid on campus and get them in front of our people, get him in front of coach Swinney, it’s somewhat of an easy sell. Not because of our coaching staff, but because of our support staff.”

On Wednesday afternoon, after Clemson finalized its 2016 signing class, Streeter thanked everyone involved with the — but he started with four names: Woody McCorvey (director of football administration), Brad Scott (director of recruiting), Jeff Davis (football player relations) and Mike Dooley (high school relations and player personnel).

“All those guys are unbelievable in their efforts and what they bring to the program, what they bring to the recruiting,” Streeter said.

There’s also the support from two of the most powerful people on campus: athletic director Dan Radakovich and president Jim Clements.

“I’ve been at a handful of places and this is the best I’ve ever been at — as far as the support from the president and the effort that he brings to the table in recruiting. And our athletic director is just second to none,” Streeter said.

Then there’s the team that Thad Turnipseed (director of recruiting and external affairs) and Jordan Sorrells (coordinator of football recruiting communications) have put together.

“I just have the title of being recruiting coordinator…I am the liaison between Thad and Jordan and that department and our full-time coaches,” Streeter said. “They make that job easy, because Thad and Jordan do an unbelievable amount of work.”

Jonathan Gantt, the athletic department’s director of new media, leads a group that’s crucial to recruiting in 2016.

“It’s amazing the feedback that we get from different schools and other programs like us on how special these people are how they help build our brand,” Streeter said.

It’s an entire army of people working in lockstep to help keep Clemson in the conversation as one of the best college football programs in the country. The number is 28, to be exact — that’s how many names and pictures are listed as football support staff in the 2015 media guide.

“We’re excited about our future and our recruiting in the future,” Streeter said, “Because we have a lot of momentum right now.”

And plenty of people are people trying to keep it that way.
