Stellato, who tells Friedman he will begin looking at Florida, Pittsburgh and Louisville, was lost for the season due to a thumb injury last month, wrapping up a career beset by numerous injuries and setbacks.
Said head coach Dabo Swinney last month: "He's been a great player for us. He's a gritty, tough, player. You hate it.
"I watched him for two years just sit because he couldn't play. He has battled a lot of injuries. He's a tough kid, man. And he loves the game. I hate it for him."
The Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) native was in his fourth year at Clemson, but had a year of eligibility remaining.
The former four-star recruit, as billed by Rivals.com in 2021, was again a key contributor this season with 25 catches for 264 yards and one touchdown in nine games.
Stellato had his best year in 2023, finishing with 38 receptions for 321 yards and a score following the 2022 season where he was lost for the year due to an ACL injury.
