Clemson linebacker target Eric WInters fits the Tigers' mold

The Clemson defense has benefited from versatile linebackers in recent years, and an early target for the Tigers in the 2025 class looks to fit that same mold.

Enterprise (AL) four-star Eric Winters camped with Clemson on June 1st and picked up an offer the same day, adding to a growing list that includes Georgia, Auburn, LSU, and Oklahoma, among others. The 6-2, 200-pound linebacker in the ’25 class is ranked as the No. 44 player in the nation and the No. 7 linebacker in the 247Sports recruiting rankings.

Clemson co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Wes Goodwin has been the lead recruiter for Winters, and the trip to campus gave Winters a chance to show off his athleticism and versatility to the Clemson staff in person.
