A number of ACC programs are targeting 2019 linebacker Drake Thomas, and on Sunday, the Wake Forest (N.C.) Heritage standout added an offer from the defending ACC and national champions.

“It feels great since they were the best team in the country,” Thomas said of the offer in an interview with The Clemson Insider.

Thomas is looking to check out Clemson in person after picking up the offer.

“I definitely want to go visit,” he said.

Thomas fits the mold of linebacker that Brent Venables, his main recruiter, has been known to go after.

The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder is a tackling machine and racked up 126 tackles, five sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions as a sophomore last season.
