Signee analysis: Tavoy Feagin - 4-star CB - Tampa, Florida

Committed since: 11/20/22.

Listed size: 5-11 165.

Mid-year enrollee

Notable: Feagin was Clemson’s first commitment for the class, all the way back in November of 2022. He picked Clemson out of a final group also including Miami, Florida State, LSU and Alabama. He is a unanimous 4-star prospect and rated as high as the No. 22 cornerback nationally. Feagin totaled eight interceptions and 22 tackles as a senior. His father Michael Feagin played for Alabama when Dabo Swinney was a graduate assistant there.

Quotable: "Not going to blow many away with his build, but looks to have some additional length in the arms and will likely undergo a physical transformation once lifting in a college weight room. Weaves like a seasoned veteran while in reverse and will use a variety of different turns to get where he needs to be. Spirited as a tackler for someone of his stature as he isn’t afraid to lower the shoulder pad while providing run support.” - 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins.
