A big-time offensive lineman from Alabama has been making the rounds so far this college football season, seeing games at different schools, and Clemson will be his next stop.
Bradyn Joiner, a four-star prospect in the 2023 class from Auburn High School, is set to visit Clemson for its game against Boston College on Saturday.
Joiner (6-3, 310) is ranked as the nation’s No. 1 center in the 2023 class and the No. 105 overall prospect in the class by Rivals.
“It’s always a great time down there, so of course I’m excited to get back down there,” Joiner told The Clemson Insider ahead of his trip to Tiger Town.
Joiner was previously on campus for an unofficial visit in July, but Saturday will mark his first time attending a game at Clemson since his ninth-grade year in 2019.
“I remember the crowd being electric,” he said, looking back on his first experience at Death Valley, “and it was a lot of fun actually.”
Now a junior, Joiner has been in contact with Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell and area recruiter Todd Bates since Sept. 1, when college coaching staffs could begin initiating conversations with high school juniors (class of 2023 prospects).
“I would say I have been hearing good things,” Joiner said. “Hopefully it results into an offer.”
Joiner, who lists over 30 total offers, released a top 10 in July comprised of Georgia Tech, Michigan State, Arizona State, Indiana, UCF, Georgia, Mississippi State, Auburn, Ole Miss and Virginia Tech.
However, Joiner said at the time that his recruitment was “still 100-percent open,” and the Tigers are telling him to sit tight as he waits for a potential offer from them.
“Just to stay patient, that it’s coming,” he said of Clemson’s message to him.
Joiner has also been to games at Georgia, Georgia Tech and Auburn thus far this season.
Where does Clemson stand with him heading into Saturday’s visit?
“They are definitely a top team for me,” he said. “Very high in my recruitment.”
