As the weather is getting hotter, so is Clemson on the recruiting trail. Monday was a giant day for the Tigers, landing multiple commitments, including one from nearly 1,400 miles away. 2027 OL Luke Starcevic (6-5, 250) of Kindred, North Dakota, announced his pledge to the Tigers around dinnertime on Monday. He chose Clemson over Notre Dame and Kansas State.
Starcevic, who was in town for the official visit weekend, was impressed enough with Clemson to put a halt to his recruitment.
“After lots of thought, prayer, and conversations with my family, I’m blessed and excited to announce my commitment to Clemson University,” Starcevic wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me along the way, and I look forward to the years ahead!”
The jumbo athlete has some schools recruiting him as a tight end like Oregon. Kansas State liked him as a potential defensive end, sending the entire defensive staff to North Dakota for an in-home visit. Clemson favors him as an offensive tackle and rose very quickly to secure his commitment.
The North Dakota prospect also plays basketball and baseball, while competing in track and field.
