Clemson offers rising 2024 3-star EDGE Darien Mayo
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel three-star EDGE Darien Mayo received an offer from Clemson on Saturday night. He spent the day on an unofficial visit to the Tigers.
Mayo is the No. 554 overall prospect and No. 34 EDGE in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 15 player in Maryland.
On3 rates Mayo higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Even though he is not ranked in the 2024 On300, Mayo is the No. 23 EDGE in the country and the No. 11 player in Maryland.
“We’ve been talking for a while, for at least the last two months,” Mayo told On3’s Chad Simmons on Jan. 16. “It’s a good school, great family atmosphere I hear, so I definitely want to experience it. We’ve been talking for a while, like I said, and just want to get down there Jan. 28 and have a good time.”
The 6-foot-6, 240-pound defender holds 24 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Penn State is leading for his commitment at 30.4%.

RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college.
It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.
