Clemson enters battle for Spring Valley standout recruit Channing Tindall

Spring Valley linebacker Channing Tindall finally picked up an offer from Clemson, according to Tiger Illustrated.

Tindall had been offered by more than 30 Division I schools but not the defending national champions until Friday.

Tindall narrowed his finalists to South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Florida State and Auburn. Last week, he said he would start taking official visits in November with Florida getting the first one then South Carolina and Georgia near end of year. It’s too early to know if Clemson will get a visit from him.

Tindall didn’t give a timeframe on when he will make his decision or if he would enroll early.

Tindall is a four-star prospect and a Shrine Bowl selection. He also is a finalist for Mr. Football and will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Heading into Friday’s game against Blythewood, Tindall leads the Vikings with 131 tackles and five sacks.

He is expected to attend the Gamecocks’ game Saturday against Vanderbilt at Williams-Brice Stadium.
