Clemson and Alabama will square off on Monday night in Glendale, Ariz. for the National Championship.

During the days leading up to the big game, TheClemsonInsider hit up several of the top prospects in the 2016, 17, 18 and 19 classes for their predictions.

Here’s what they had to say:

Zerrick Cooper – 2016 QB – Jonesboro, Ga. (commit)

“Think it’s going to be a competitive game and it’s going to be a defensive game. Clemson, we have to come to play, so in other words, I’m going with the home team.”

Jordan Williams – 2017 DE – Virginia Beach

“I think it is going to be a tough game on the defensive side but I think Clemson will pull through 28-14.”

Benny Sapp III – 2018 CB – Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

“I would say Clemson would win.”

Diondre Overton – 2016 WR – Greensboro, N.C. (commit)

“It’s going to be a great game. I believe it’s going to come down to the last minute. I believe Clemson can pull it out.”

Trajan Bandy – 2017 CB – Miami

“I haven’t even decided yet but I like Clemson.”

Trevor Lawrence – 2018 QB – Cartersville, Ga.

“Not sure, hoping Clemson wins though.”

Dax Hollifield – 2018 LB – Shelby, N.C.

“Clemson is going to prove to the world that they are the best.”

Noah DeHond – 2017 OT – Rochester, N.Y. (commit)

“We’re gonna win. It’s us or them and we’ll come out on top.”

Joshua Paschal – 2017 DE – Olney, Md.

“I think Clemson will pull it out.”

Xavier Kelly – 2016 DE – Wichita, Kan. (commit)

“I think that Clemson wins by 3.”

Jamaree Salyer – 2018 OG – Atlanta

“I think if the Clemson defense can stop the Alabama run attack and the Clemson defense can overwhelm their defense with their various weapons, then Clemson could win this game pretty handily.”

Blake Vinson – 2017 OT – Citra, Fla.

“I think whoever dominates the LOS and has the fewest turnovers will win the game.”

Zachary Carter – 2017 DE – Tampa, Fla.

“I think Clemson will win.”

Arkeem Byrd – 2016 S – Savannah, Ga.

“I think Clemson will pull an upset.”

Derion Kendrick – 2018 ATH – Rock Hill

“Clemson is going to win the game based on their fast offense in the fourth quarter and Deshaun Watson is going to have a breakout game. Also, the Clemson defense is going to step up tremendously.”

Colin Wilson – 2017 RB – Green Cove Springs, Fla.

“I’m going for Clemson.”

Baylon Spector – 2017 LB – Calhoun, Ga. (commit)

“I think we will play them tough and we will pull one out and shock the world. I think Deshaun will have a solid game. If he doesn’t turn the ball over and we don’t miss opportunities, we will be fine. The final score is 28-24, Clemson.”

Trey Smith – 2017 OT – Jackson, Tenn.

“Probably going to be one of the best National Championships in a while. Hard to decide, because both teams have been excellent this season, but I’ll say Bama. A very, very close game.”

Matt Bockhorst – 2017 OG – Cincinnati, Ohio

“I think it’s going to be a very physical game on both sides, but I think Alabama is going to have trouble containing Watson. Clemson wins by seven.”

Cyrus Fagan – 2017 S – Daytona, Fla.

“I like the Tigers.”

Eric Douglas – 2017 OT – Charlotte, N.C.

“I believe Clemson will take it and the defense will stop them when needed, to help accelerate the offense.”

Malik Herring – 2017 DE – Forsyth, Ga.

“Clemson with the W.”

Cornell Powell – 2016 WR – Greenville, N.C. (commit)

“It’s going to be a hard fought game, but Clemson will pull away in the fourth quarter for the victory.”

Christian Tutt – 2017 CB – Thomson, Ga.

“To me, the only way Clemson pulls away (is) if they can execute. Bama’s D is too good.”

Andrew Thomas – 2017 OT – Atlanta, Ga.

“I know it’s gonna be a great game. Whoever stops the run will win.”

Amari Rodgers – 2017 WR – Knoxville, Tenn.

“It’ll be a great game. I think Clemson will come out with the W, though. I’m going for them.”

Chase Brice – 2017 QB – Loganville, Ga. (commit)

“I think it’s going to be a hard fought game. Of course, I have Clemson winning it all, so I’ll predict a score of 23-20.”

Corey Bolds – 2017 DT – Paramus, N.J.

“I think they’ll do  great. The game will definitely be won on defense.”

Jamie Skalski – 2016 LB – Newnan, Ga. (commit)

“I think if Clemson can slow down (Derrick) Henry and Watson and the offense get rolling, there’s no question they’ll win.”

Jordan Anthony – 2017 LB – IMG Academy

“I have Clemson all the way.”

Owen Pappoe – 2019 LB – Loganville, Ga.

“It will be close, 34-31. Not sure who yet.”
