Rutgers Football has landed another commitment from their 20+ Official Visitors this weekend as class of 2025 Georgia defensive back Michael Clayton has verbally committed to Rutgers Football according to his social media.
The 6-foot-1, 170-pounds cornerback recruit hails from Warner Robbins, Georgia and plays both for North Atlanta High School. Linton also is a member of the track and field team, where he runs a 10.44, 100 meter and also ranks among top in state for the Triple Jump.
"Everything I was looking for they offered to me," Clayton told TKR. "It’s a great program with great people. I’d probably say my favorite part was visiting New York, I had never been and that was super cool. Also being around the coaches staff, the players and other recruits was great as well."
Clayton was hosted by fellow Georgia defensive back and current Scarlet Knights safety Flip Dixon, as the two really hit it off.
"My host was Flip Dixon," said Clayton. "He basically explained to me that what I was seeing and how the staff acted was genuine and explained that while being great people to be around they will develop and push me into the great player I want to be."
This past season as a junior, Clayton finished with 35 total tackles (25 solo), seven pass deflections, one forced fumble and one interceptions.
With the addition of Clayton, Rutgers Football now has two cornerbacks committed as he joins New Jersey native and Don Bosco Prep product Renick Dorilas as the other defensive back prospect.
