Peach State 4-star offensive lineman announces Clemson in Top 10

A top-rated 2025 offensive line target has announced Clemson in his Top 10 schools.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson coaching staff are off to a scorching hot start recruiting in the 2025 class and look to continue this run over the rest of the offseason.

The latest news coming from the 2025 class is with 4-star offensive line target Justin Hasenhuetl, who took to social media Wednesday to announce his top 10 school choices. Clemson made the cut, competing with Oklahoma, Penn State, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Florida State, Southern Cal, Arkansas, and Miami for his commitment.

According to 247Sports rankings, Hasenhuetl is the No.4 interior offensive lineman and the No.100 overall player in the 2025 class. Clemson would love to add a player of his caliber at a position of need.

Michigan football offers 2025 4-star OT from familiar high school in SEC country

He’s an elite prospect in his class and #Michigan already has in-roads at his high school. #GoBlue

gatorswire.usatoday.comigan football has been busy extending offers to multiple high school players in the state of Georgia lately. Whether it’s a 2026 running back or a 2025 tight end, the maize and blue are looking to make in-roads into the Peach State.

One of the Wolverines’ latest offers is already a high-profile prospect, despite there being limited ratings in the 2025 class.

Hailing from Rabun (Ga.) Nacoochie School, Justin Hasenhuetl is rated a four-star prospect, the No. 95 player in the country according to 247Sports’ proprietary rankings. He’s the No. 2 interior offensive lineman in the country and the 15th-best player in the state of Georgia.

Earlier this week, he reported a Michigan football offer.

If Rabun Gap-Nacoochie School sounds familiar, that’s because that’s the high school that current Michigan tight end Marlin Klein, who came aboard as part of the 2023 class, attended. (Note that Klein is who is pictured above in Hasenhuetl’s offer tweet.)

Hasenhuetl has offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Minnesota, NC State, Ole Miss, Wisconsin, and others. He’s listed at 6-foot-5, 290-pounds.

Check out his sophomore highlights below:

German-born OL reflects on trip to Clemson, wants to return for game

Earlier this summer, Clemson played host to an intriguing offensive line prospect, who hails from Germany. Justin Hasenhuetl – a 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman in the class of 2025 out of Georgia’s Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School – participated in …

Earlier this summer, Clemson played host to an intriguing offensive line prospect, who hails from Germany.

Justin Hasenhuetl — a 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman in the class of 2025 out of Georgia’s Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School — participated in the June 2 of the Dabo Swinney Camp. 

“It was a really nice camp because there was so much competition for me and I learned a lot from other players and also from the coaches,” Hasenhuetl recently told The Clemson Insider. “It showed me that offensive lineman are not fat. It showed me that the offensive linemen at the next level are literally strong, big and athletic.”

Hasenhuetl said that he received a lot of coaching from some of Clemson’s players and when he did receive attention from offensive line coach Thomas Austin, it was mainly during the 1v1s.

“I really liked the facility and stuff, but I didn’t really have the chance to talk to the coaches because there were way bigger guys than me, “ Hasenhuetl said, “but it was still a really nice feeling to see such a big college.”

In addition to Clemson, Hasenhuetl went to the Mercer and Georgia State Mega Camp(s) and Florida State. He picked up an offer from Louisville at Mercer, while he added an offer from Memphis at Georgia State. Hasenhuetl added those two to his current list of offers, which includes Coastal Carolina, Buffalo and Georgia Southern.

He later visited Louisville with his teammate and quarterback, Gavin Owens, at the end of July.

As far as a return visit to Clemson is concerned, Hasenhuetl is hoping he can catch a game at Memorial Stadium this fall. Clemson has shown interest in some of his teammates like Owens and Marshall Pritchett, so Hasenhuetl may attend a game this season with some of his teammates at Rabun Gap.

“I would love it if I would get invited to go and watch a game at Clemson this season,” he said.

Getting a better feel for Hasenhuetl’s game and who he is as a player, he describes himself as someone who isn’t ever going to give up. He’s also not afraid of contact and doesn’t shy away from it.

“I don’t care about how big the guy is or if he is a five-star,” Hasenhuetl said. “I’m trying to give my best every time.”
