Ohio State offers 2025 South Carolina defensive lineman

The Buckeyes have entered the chat #GoBucks

It may seem like the [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] football staff took a bit of a break from sending out offers but they were back at it again on Thursday morning.

Defensive line coach [autotag]Larry Johnson[/autotag] seems to be spearheading the recruitment of [autotag]Amare Adams[/autotag], a 2025 defensive line recruit from South Carolina. The lineman is viewed as one of the top 50 players in the country at this early stage according to 247Sports.

Although Adams reports just seven offers, they are big ones which include Alabama, Georgia, Florida State, South Carolina and now the Buckeyes. This list should continue to grow as more schools follow these elite programs in offering him.

Adams is a large three-sport athlete, standing 6-foo, 6-inches, and 280-pounds, which makes it easy to see why these top schools are on him so early. Just scrubbing his Twitter it looks like Adams definitely likes Georgia along with his home state school of choice, South Carolina. The Buckeyes have entered the mix but it looks to be a big battle for them to land the talented lineman from the East coast.

A 2025 defensive lineman hailing from the Palmetto State made the trip up to Clemson for the Tiger’s 40-10 win over Miami last Saturday in Memorial Stadium. The Clemson Insider caught up with the four-star following the visit to get the latest on his recruitment.

Lake City (S.C.) High School’s Amare Adams visited Clemson following visits to Georgia, South Carolina and Florida State earlier this fall and had nothing but praise for head coach Dabo Swinney and his program.

“It was really nice,” Adams told TCI. “The family vibe and the love they have for their players. They spoke a lot about my future after football. Gave me something to think about.”

The 6-foot-6, 280-pound defensive lineman already sports offers from South Carolina, Florida State and Georgia and while Clemson stands very high at the moment for Adams, only time will tell which program rises to the top.

“All of them have things I like,” the four-star said. “I have a great relationship with the coaches at every school I visit. I guess in time I will start to see what’s best.”

During his time in Tiger Town, Adams experienced all that Clemson has to offer alongside his dad and a family friend, who is a long-time fan of the Tigers.

“My Dad was impressed with how much they spoke on academics,” Adams said. “He said they really care about your future and being a man. Also, he loves that their players aren’t ashamed to put God first.”

Adams was able to speak with multiple members of the Clemson coaching staff while in Death Valley including head coach Dabo Swinney, defensive tackles coach Nick Eason, defensive player development coach Kavell Conner and a few others.

“[They told] me how much they like me,” he said. “And to keep working in the classroom and on the field. How much Coach Swinney loves his players. How much of a family it really is. How coaches on staff are a lot of Clemson guys.”

As for where the Tigers stand after Adam’s visit, the South Carolina native says Clemson stands very high among his options, adding that an offer from Swinney and his staff would be “awesome”.

“They stand very high! I mean it would be awesome,” Adams said. “I am blessed to even be viewed at by them as a guy they could have there in a few years.”
