COVINGTON, Ga. — Newton Rams senior defensive linemen Darnell Jefferies became the newest member of the 2018 Clemson recruiting class. The 6-foot-3, 265 pound 4-star lineman took to Twitter Monday evening to share his commitment with the college football world, and to declare that he wanted to set the business of choosing a college aside to hone in on excelling in his last year in high school. “It is important to me to make this decision now so I can give the NEWTONBOYZ my undivided attention throughout my senior campaign,” Jefferies said on Twitter.
