When Tyler Grisham makes a commitment, it speaks volumes—and for four-star wide receiver Connor Salmin, that commitment has been a game-changer. The Bullis School star from Potomac, MD, is forming an unbreakable bond with Clemson’s wide receivers coach, and it’s paying off big time.
Grisham’s proactive approach is a major factor in Salmin’s growing admiration for the Tigers. The coach made sure to attend one of Salmin’s track meets, something that truly impressed the standout athlete. “It meant a lot that Coach Grish came out to my meet,” Salmin shared. “Our relationship is solid, and he’s always easy to talk to. We discuss everything from football to track to family, and he gives great advice.”
This thoughtful effort has clearly made an impact. With Clemson now firmly in the race, Salmin’s top contenders include the Tigers, Penn State, and Notre Dame. But Clemson continues to stand out. “Clemson is definitely one of my top schools,” Salmin confirmed. “It’s one of the schools my family and I communicate with the most.”
As Salmin’s recruitment heats up, his spring schedule will include visits to Penn State and an exclusive junior retreat at Clemson. Though he’s not ready to announce an official list, Salmin is narrowing down his options, with a decision likely to come after these pivotal visits.
For now, Clemson remains a top contender for this exceptional talent. “There’s so much I love about the Clemson program,” Salmin said. “The coaches, the culture—it all just clicks. It’ll come down to finding the perfect fit for me, but Clemson is absolutely at the top.”
As Salmin moves closer to his commitment, the Tigers have firmly cemented themselves as one of his top choices.
