NICK POLLACK TO CLEMSON
Clemson made quick work of its efforts to nab a second tight end.
Bogart (Ga.) North Oconee’s Nicholas Pollack has announced his commitment to the Tigers. Pollack had been a projection to Clemson by Tigerillustrated.com.

Pollack (6-3, 220) picked up offers in January from Cincinnati, Wake Forest and East Carolina.
Samford — and its Clemson-heavy staff — notably then offered last month.
The Tigers waited to make their move with an offer one week ago upon quietly landing Leesburg (Ga.) Lee County’s Carter Blackwell as their initial take.
But the seeds had been sewn here much earlier.
Pollack is the son of college football analyst David Pollack, a former UGA defensive end standout. Pollack has been complimentary of Dabo Swinney’s program and values in the past and was also a mentor to former Clemson safety Khalil Barnes.
Nicholas is a teammate of Clemson safety commitment Harrison Luke, whose father Matt is the Tigers’ line coach.
So there was relationship and familiarity.
Clemson discreetly brought in Pollack for its Elite Retreat junior day in early March.

New offensive coordinator Chad Morris also has historically utilized tight ends in a wider and more voluminous capacity than his predecessor, thus reinforcing the need to bolster the position.
