The state of South Carolina regularly produces top wide receiver prospects. Among the guys in the 2016 crop is Conway’s Bryan Edwards. Rated as a four-star by Rivals, 247 and ESPN, Edwards was in Clemson over the weekend for the Tigers’ home opener against South Carolina State.

On Monday night, he spoke with TheClemsonInsider.

“The game was fun. It was hot outside, but it was really enjoyable getting to see Clemson beat up on a small school,” Edwards said.

While on campus, he spoke with offensive coordinator Chad Morris and tight ends coach Danny Pearman, who serves as his recruiter of record to Clemson.

“Those guys are always friendly,” Edwards said. “They always check on me, see how everything is going back home, if I need anything.

“They’re always friendly, always talking with me. They’re nice people.”

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound prospect has been to Clemson plenty of times over the last couple of years, so there isn’t much that he hasn’t seen in Tigertown.

“It’s a good place to be and it’s always fun to get up there to have a little fun,” Edwards said.

A return visit is already in the works.

“I’ll probably go up to the Clemson/South Carolina game,” Edwards said. “But, as far as that, nothing else. I might go to a couple of other games, but I don’t know yet.”

There are a few other schools that could also host him this season.

“I’m going to get up to South Carolina. I want to get to some out of state schools like Florida or LSU, those guys, to see what their stadiums are like,” Edwards said.

For now, Edwards claim no clear-cut leader, but there are a couple in mind.

“The two instate schools are probably on top for me right now, because that’s based off of what I know and what I’ve seen,” he said. “I haven’t seen a lot of other schools. I plan on going out a little bit more and seeing those schools, having a little more in-depth look at where I want to go.”

Until then, several factors will be considered.

“I definitely want to go to a winning program where they work hard, have a good team, a top education school and a family atmosphere where the coaches treat the players respectfully,” Edwards said.
