On Tuesday, Clemson paid a visit to a priority wide receiver target from the Sunshine State ranked as a top-100 national prospect in the 2025 class.
Homestead (Fla.) High four-star Cortez Mills drew a school stop from head coach Dabo Swinney, receivers coach Tyler Grisham and offensive coordinator Garrett Riley.
“It felt great for (the coaches) to come down and stop by and spend time with me, talk to me about football and how they can help me develop as a young man and as a football player and stuff like that,” Mills told The Clemson Insider.
Mills worked out at the Swinney Camp last June and became the first wide receiver in his class to score an offer from Clemson.
The 6-foot-2, 170-pound junior is a top-100 prospect nationally according to multiple recruiting services, including ESPN, which ranks him as the No. 11 receiver for the 2025 cycle.
According to Mills, the Clemson coaches made it clear when they came by his school that he’s a coveted recruit for the Tigers.
“What I was really hearing — how bad they want me and how I’m a gamechanger and I can change the program, I can help the program out a lot,” he said, “and I’m just one of the missing pieces that they need to the offense and stuff like that.”
