Four-star Clemson legacy Avieon Terrell signs with Tigers

Atlanta (Ga.) Westlake four-star Avieon Terrell is the second in his family to write his name on a Clemson scholarship.

Terrell’s older brother AJ Terrell was a star for the Tigers before heading to Atlanta to play for the Falcons. As the early signing period opens on Wednesday, Terrell has officially signed his name to play for Clemson.

Terrell is the No. 298 overall prospect in the 2023 On3 Consensus rankings. The four-star cornerback committed to the Tigers back on June 6.

Avieon Terrell wanted his own relationship with Clemson

Terrell was the first prospect with a scholarship offer in the class of 2023. He didn’t just jump at the opportunity to commit to Clemson because his brother played there.

Terrell did his due diligence.

“It was a family atmosphere,” Terrell told On3 after his commitment. “Everything up there just felt like home. I couldn’t build a relationship with anyone else, like the one I had with Clemson…It was just family. I couldn’t go anywhere else…I definitely built my own relationship with them. We talked about how they wanted to use me. They want to play me everywhere.”
