Clemson OL target Clark Yarbrough ‘really is torn’ about decision

Offensive lineman Clark Yarbrough of Woodberry Forest, Va., originally had planned to announce his college choice May 21 at the conclusion of his spring practice.

Sunday night, however, Yarbrough disclosed that he wouldn’t be ready to make his decision by then and pushed the process into June. Yarbrough has been working with a short list of Clemson, Stanford, Duke, Florida and Virginia.

It’s been a busy time for Yarbrough between his schoolwork, track and football duties, and his coach said he just hasn’t had the time to focus on making his decision.

“His top five are still the same but I haven’t talked to him,” coach Clint Alexander said. “He really is torn. The top three he put out, every day he makes a case for one of them and the next day it’s another one. One day he decides it’s this one and then he switches.”

Alexander said, from what he’s heard, Clemson, Duke and Stanford appear to have moved to the top of the list, though he said Yarbrough still likes all five schools. Clemson has already been by the school once this spring to watch Yarbrough throw the shot put in a track meet, and he said the Tigers will be back next week.

“I can’t say enough about what Clemson has done recruiting him,” Alexander said.

All of the schools offering Yarbrough have been in this spring.
