More on Milton (Ga.) safety Robert Billings… Committed since: 7/31/22. Listed size: 6-1 185. Notable: Billings posted five interceptions, nine pass breakups and 93 total tackles (70 solo) as a senior. Billings’ reported offers before a Clemson commitment included Georgia, Florida State, Miami, Michigan and Ole Miss. Mickey Conn on Billings: "He's a really good football player who plays with great pad level...Great eyes, great ball skills." Quotable: “Coach Conn preaches to me that he wasn’t scared to start a freshman. (Andrew) Mukuba was a freshman when he came in and started and was a Freshman All-American. He just wants me to work hard when I get there, and we’ll see how things go from there. But he’s been preaching to me that he’s not scared to start a freshman.” - Billings on what Clemson told him in the recruiting process. Depth chart fit: As Billings stated, Clemson hasn’t shied away from playing young safeties, including this season with freshman Sherrod Covil Jr. RJ Mickens and Andrew Mukuba are set to anchor that group and Billings will have a shot to make an impact on special teams and in reserve.
