The class took two major hits on Wednesday with QB Sam Howell flipping to North Carolina and DT Derek Hunter flipping to Texas A&M. On Thursday the class took another blow as OL Will Putnam chose Clemson over the ‘Noles.
The 15th-ranked class is actually pretty good for a team that missed out on a bowl game, but missing on two positions of need put a lot of pressure on Taggart and staff to bring in players at quarterback and offensive line.
