Defensive end Jeoffrey Pagan from Asheville (N.C.) High School has committed to Clemson.
Pagan, who was committed to Florida until he reopened his recruitment in November, gave his pledge to the Tigers during an official visit to Clemson this weekend.

“I’d love to be coached by somebody like that,” Pagan told the Gainesville Sun.
