Booth earned first-team All-ACC honors last season after recording 39 tackles, five pass breakups and three interceptions in 11 games — all starts.

What did he do at Clemson?

Booth signed with Clemson for the class of 2019 as a five-star recruit who was one of the top cornerbacks in the country.

He played in 13 games as a freshman, finishing with six tackles and a pass break up.

As a sophomore in 2020, Booth appeared in 11 games, with four starts. He made several highlight plays and finished with 30 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and two interceptions.

Heading into his junior season, the challenge for Booth was to get more consistent. It’s safe to say he did that.

The Georgia native was one of the best cornerbacks in the country and chose to turn pro early after his strong junior season.
