Plenty of teams from around the country are competing for his signature including ACC programs like Florida State, Louisville, and North Carolina.
Uini is planning on having a visit to Clemson later this summer. He is scheduled for Jun. 2. Nearly every school on his list already has a visit lined with the top 2024 prospect.
Uini should be a useful asset to whatever team he commits to coming in at 6-foot-8, 315 pounds.
Clemson will be hoping to return to the College Football Playoff after going 11-3 in 2022. The Tigers ended the year with a loss in the Orange Bowl to Tennessee.
Cade Klubnik is expected to be the starting QB in 2023 now that D.J. Uiagalelei has transferred to Oregon State.
It may be a tough task for Dabo Swinney to convince Uini to leave the state of Texas.
