Clemson's Nate Wiggins Declares for NFL Draft

Projected as a first-round pick, the top-ranked cornerback opts out of Clemson's bowl game to prepare for the draft.

Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins has declared for the NFL Draft, opting out of the team's upcoming bowl game.
Wiggins is projected as a first-round selection and is currently ranked as the top cornerback and the No. 14 overall player in the 2024 NFL Draft.
During his time at Clemson, Wiggins earned first-team All-ACC honors in consecutive seasons and was a key player in the team's No. 5 ranked passing defense.
Wiggins has been praised for his speed, length, and ability to make extra-effort plays, with one notable instance of him reaching a speed of 22.1 miles per hour to force a fumble at the goal line.
Wiggins' decision to enter the draft follows that of fellow Clemson player and All-ACC defender, linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
