Harvey (6-4, 225) picked the Tigers over remaining finalists Florida State, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Colorado.
He is the son of former Florida defensive end Derrick Harvey.
Clemson didn’t offer Harvey until February. But defensive ends coach Chris Rumph was strongly engaged for a long time beforehand, bringing Harvey in for a visit last summer and then a return soon thereafter for the Tigers’ home opener against LSU.
Harvey is ranked as the No. 32 edge by Rivals and the No. 34 overall prospect in Florida.
