One of the top running backs in the 2027 recruiting class will visit Clemson next month.

Four-star back Andrew Beard (Prince Avenue Christian, Bogart, GA) will attend the Clemson spring game on April 5. It is one of several stops the blue-chip back plans to make.

  • Tennessee: March 31
  • Clemson: April 5
  • Penn State: April 8

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound back visited for the Tigers’ win over Virginia back in October.

Beard is quickly approaching the 20-offer mark, with Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Penn State and Tennessee all having pulled the trigger already.

His father was a running back at App State from 2000-02 and his uncle is Garrison Hearst, a running back who starred at Georgia in the early 1990s.
