As The Clemson Insider previously reported, three-star safety Keland Shelton Jr. of Providence High School in Charlotte did not make it to Clemson this weekend for the Elite Retreat.
Shelton scheduled the visit back in January. It would have been his first trip to campus.
Shelton now tells TCI that his second visit to Clemson is off as well. He had also been planning to visit on March 28, the day of the spring game.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound recruit has more than a dozen offers, including Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, NC State, Tennessee and SMU.
Shelton originally started communicating with safeties coach Nolan Turner and other members of the staff by phone early this year.
“So Coach Turner, I called him and we were talking about Clemson,” Shelton told TCI back in January. “We didn’t get into much detail about the program, but he let me know he liked my versatility, that he doesn’t see me primarily as a safety, but as a ballhawk athlete. Someone who needs to be around the ball.”
As a junior in 2025, Shelton totaled 89 tackles, 11.5 sacks and 15 pass breakups while scoring five total touchdowns, including three receiving scores.
He is slated to visit Missouri on March 13-14.
