Daylen Everette Makes Decision
With a top five of Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, North Carolina, Oregon and Florida State, cornerback Daylen Everette made his college decision with his commitment to Clemson announced Saturday evening.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder is rated as the seventh overall cornerback in the class, which makes him 40th nationally according to 247Sports. Everette spent June taking visits to Clemson, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida State.
He was the second IMG Academy prospect to announce a commitment on Saturday as his teammate and fellow defensive back Keon Sabb also selected Clemson.
Everette said on CBS Sports HQ he would be joining his current high-school teammates Jihaad Campbell and Sabb as Clemson commits. Everette is the third high-profile UGA target from Bradenton, Fla., school that picked the Tigers instead of the Dawgs.
With Georgia losing out on the commitment of five-star Deyon Bouie in June, it was believed that it would entice Georgia to make Everette more of a priority in this class as they need more cornerbacks after getting only one commitment so far, that being Marquis Groves-Killebrew.
After visiting North Carolina and Clemson in June, those two schools were the two expected front-runners in his recruitment as they edged out Georgia and the other three contenders. However, ultimately the Tigers won the battle with the Tar Heels as the reigning ACC champion gained another talented prospect from IMG yet.
