Clemson defeated Alabama to win the 2019 college football national championship in the most lop-sided defeat in Nick Saban’s history at Alabama, but it’s what happened after the contest that might have been the best thing of the night.
While on the podium accepting the championship trophy, Clemson’s star defensive end Clelin Ferrell made one of the greatest recruiting pitches ever…Death Row style.
CLASSIC…and a lot of people won’t get the reference. #DeathRow #DeathValley pic.twitter.com/kjFFLmAU3n

If you’re not familiar, this pitch is from the infamous 1995 Source Awards where Suge Knight encouraged artists to sign with Death Row Records – taking a jab at Puff Daddy and Bad Boy Records in the process.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better recruiting pitch.
