3-star Peach State defensive lineman commits to Clemson

Clemson’s 2025 recruiting class is up to 14 members after the addition of this 3-star DL from Atlanta.

The Clemson Tigers picked up a commitment Wednesday in class of 2025 DL Makhi Williams-Lee (Lakeside High School, Atlanta), who announced his pledge in a social media post to X.

Listed as 6-foot-2, 280 pounds, William-Lee is rated a three-star recruit from both 247Sports and On3. Rivals rates him as a four-star player.

Williams-Lee committed to Clemson over offers from the Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Tech, NC State and others. He committed to NC State in January of this year before rescinding his pledge after receiving an offer from Clemson and taking an official visit during last Saturday’s 40-14 win over Stanford on homecoming week.
