Ohio State had long been the favorite for Carman, but things had shifted in heavy favor of Clemson in recent weeks. Carman even acknowledged that he wasn't really sure about his decision until this morning, and that it was a close battle between Clemson and Ohio State.
With Carman's commitment, Clemson picks up yet another Top 10 recruit for this class, as the Tigers already have No. 1 recruit Trevor Lawrence and No. 3 recruit Xavier Thomas. Dabo Swinney seems thrilled about where his 2018 recruiting class is right now.
