Clemson lands four-star OL from its own backyard

Gotta protect the quarterback now!

Clemson has been having a pretty nice National Signing Day and it got a little nicer with the addition of four-star offensive guard John Simpson out of North Charleston, South Carolina. The 6'4", 290-pound behemoth is ranked as the second-best recruit in South Carolina and seventh nationally at his position.

Simpson took his official visit to Clemson a couple weekends ago and also took an official visit to Florida before that, but it looks like he really like what he saw in his home state.
