Clemson Drops One Spot in Updated SIAA Recruiting Rankings
After debuting at number three in the initial 2021 team rankings, Clemson has dropped a spot to number four in the most recent update by SI All-American.
The recruiting service unveiled the SI99 back in August, which ranks the top prospects in the country. Then in September the first set of 2021 team rankings were released, which are updated monthly.
"SIAA takes a subjective approach to the team rankings, emphasizing quality over quantity with the scope on premium position prospects and SI99 members. Programs addressing specific team needs also play a key role in determining the pecking order."- SI All-American
After picking up a couple of big commitments over the last month, LSU has jumped up from fifth to third, knocking Clemson back a spot.
