Clemson lands first 2021 commit in secondary with four-star cornerback

Four-star cornerback Jordan Hancock (6-foot, 170 pounds) of Suwanee, Georgia announced a commitment to Clemson on Wednesday morning. Hancock visited Clemson for the junior day last Saturday. He also visited Clemson in January and took visits to Alabama, Georgia and Florida State in recent weeks. He was scheduled to see Ohio State late this month but that trip is now off.

Some of Hancock’s other offers were USC, Florida, LSU, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Auburn, Texas A&M, Oregon and Stanford.

In his announcement video produced by Rivals, Hancock said he chose Clemson over Ohio State, Alabama, Florida State, Georgia and North Carolina.

“I think Clemson is the right fit for me and my family where I can take that next step in academics and as a player as a defensive back,” Hancock said. “I knew Clemson was the right choice for me when I put on the Clemson Orange. I knew this is the school for me, this is where I want to go. And it’s the best school in America.”

Hancock gives Clemson 10 commitments for the 2021 class and is the first commitment for the secondary. The 247Sports composite ranking has him as the No. 6 corner in the country and the No. 9 prospect in Georgia.

The Tigers also are heavily involved with his teammate LB Barrett Carter, who is rated a four-star prospect by the 247Sports composite and the No. 4 outside linebacker in the country.
