Four-star offensive tackle sets commitment date

One of Clemson’s top 2023 recruit targets has set his commitment date.

Four-star 2023 offensive tackle and Clemson target Sam Pendleton has set his commitment date for April 25 at 6:30 p.m EDT.

Clemson offered Pendleton on Jan. 14 and is the 12th best recruit in North Carolina, according to 247Sports Composite.

The 6-foot-4 305 pounder visited Clemson in late January, and although Pendleton initially said Clemson’s offer was a “dream offer,” his recruitment has heated up.

“They sit pretty well with me,” he said in an interview with The Clemson Insider. “I definitely have felt a lot of love from them but there’s some other schools that are really starting to climb up for me, starting to match that Clemson energy right now.”

Notre Dame offered Pendleton on March 16, and according to 247Sports’ crystal ball projection, the Fighting Irish are now the favorite to land the lineman.

With Pendleton recruitment less than one week away, Clemson could add to its 2023 class that is No. 28 in the country.
