Last fall, Andrew Beard and Clemson were trending in opposite directions.
The four-star running back (Prince Avenue Christian, GA) released a list of his top five schools in October, a few weeks after visiting for the season-opener against LSU, with Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Alabama all making the cut. Clemson was nowhere to be found, seeing as the Tigers had yet to offer.
However, after CJ Spiller made two stops in to see him during the contact period last month, with Dabo Swinney accompanying him on the second one, things have changed. Beard now has his offer.
