Clemson struggles to maintain lead in recruitment for linebacker Sean Fox
Summary

Clemson's recruitment of four-star linebacker Sean Fox appears to be losing momentum as analysts predict he will choose Kentucky instead. Recently, multiple industry insiders shifted their predictions away from Clemson, which was seen as having the upper hand earlier this week. Fox, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect from Warren Central, has also drawn interest from Notre Dame and Georgia following unofficial visits. Clemson initially gained traction with Fox after hosting him during their Elite Retreat in March. The recruitment process remains dynamic, and it is unclear if Clemson can regain an advantage.
