DeVonte Holloman, a top football recruit and a former Independence High star, says he won't be going to Clemson.
Holloman, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound senior who had committed to the Tigers, was the nation's No.2 recruit at safety, according to recruiting service scout.com.

He transferred from Independence to Rock Hill South Pointe at the beginning of the season. Holloman said he “was surprised but not surprised” when he heard about Clemson coach Tommy Bowden being fired Monday morning. “I wasn't expecting it at the beginning of the season,” Holloman said. “Maybe at the end, but it's not a situation I want to go into – with a whole new head coach and all the changes that will probably happen. I want to go somewhere a little more stable.” He took an unofficial visit to Tennessee last month and plans to take official visits to South Carolina this week and Louisiana State on Oct.25.
He said he also wanted to visit North Carolina and was contacting the Tar Heels coaches who initially recruited him. Holloman, a 4.0 student, said he plans to graduate in December and enroll in his new school in January. “I'm wide open again,” Holloman said of his recruiting prospects.
