5-star, nation’s No. 1 OT likes a lot about Clemson

The nation’s top-ranked offensive tackle in the 2023 class recently narrowed down his list of more than 30 scholarship offers.

Earlier this month, Southeast Polk High School (Pleasant Hill, Iowa) five-star Kadyn Proctor released a top 12 featuring Clemson along with Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Iowa State, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M.

The Clemson Insider caught up with Proctor, who feels a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders now that he has cut down his recruitment to the aforementioned schools.

“It feels like a big relief,” he said. “All 32 schools, plus a little bit more, tried to hit me up all the time from the start of September 1st (when college coaches could start initiating contact with high school juniors). Just thinking about that, trying to get some schools cut off and kind of narrow my recruitment. It’s kind of been a little laxed now.”

According to Proctor, he has been in contact with Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell, and Caldwell is planning to attend one of Proctor’s games next month.

Although the Tigers have not yet offered Proctor, he explained why he still wanted to include Clemson in his top group of schools.

“They’re a school that I think could really wrap up my recruitment with an offer,” he said. “So, I kind of just put them in there, and I’ve been talking to the coaches a lot. Coach Caldwell said he was going to try to get down here sometime in October. So, maybe after he watches one of my games, then I’ll get that offer and we can take that a little bit further.”

What has Proctor been hearing from Caldwell in general during their conversations?

“Just different things about the football, the schoolwork, trying to get my grades where it’s supposed to be, doing what I need to do on the football field and different things like that,” he said.

Proctor is looking to make his commitment during his senior year in 2022.

“Probably next year after my official visits, sometime like that,” he said.

There is plenty about Clemson that appeals to Proctor when he thinks about the school and football program.

“Their football success, for sure,” he said. “How many people they’ve got in the league, like the NFL factor. Great coaches that I can trust when I talk to. I know they have great facilities, great education and all that too.”

Proctor is listed at 6-foot-7, 330 pounds by 247Sports. According to the 247Sports Composite, he is No. 1 prospect in Iowa, No. 1 offensive tackle nationally and No. 5 overall prospect for the 2023 class regardless of position.

Tour of Champions: Collin Sadler

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Clemson Insider was able to cross off not one, but two names from this season’s first edition of the Tour of Champions.

Up first was Josh Sapp. Next? Sapp’s teammate, Collin Sadler.

Sadler, a four-star offensive lineman from Greenville High School, is already pretty confident in his decision to commit to Clemson.

“It was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made,” Sadler told TCI following Greenville’s 32-2 victory over J.L. Main last Friday night. “I pulled the trigger early because I knew it was the right thing for me. It’s just been really good seeing everything settle down and being able to enjoy my senior year without traveling around and all that.”

If there’s one thing that Sadler made inherently clear during his conversation with TCI is that he is very happy with his decision. 

Dating back to his recruitment process, Clemson treated the local product like they do everyone else. They waited until his junior season to offer and it was one of the latest ones he received.

“I visited there. It was completely what I heard from everyone around me for years,” he said. “I didn’t grow up a Clemson fan. I’d never been to a game. The first time I was ever on campus was to watch spring practice. I could just tell that everything they preached, right from the get-go, was true.”

Sadler was a part of that group that was among the first four 2022 commits. He’s one of the leaders of Clemson’s 2022 class and he’s been adamant on social media that his class is the best the nation has to offer, despite what recruiting rankings say.

“We believe we’re the best class in the country, just from how we interact with each other, how we believe we’re going to play with each other on the field and what we have coming up,” Sadler said. “We really believe that the rankings don’t matter. We believe we can go out there and beat anybody in the country.”

Sadler has a close relationship with Mason Johnstone, a three-star offensive lineman from Greenville’s Christ Church Episcopal School. Johnstone joined Clemson’s 2022 class as a PWO commit back on June 13.

“Masom Johnstone, he’s from Clemson,” he said. “I’ve known him for probably about a year now. He started training with the same O-line trainer that I train with. He’s a great guy.”

Being that he’s not too far from The Valley, Sadler is planning to go to as many Clemson home games as he can. While he couldn’t make it to the Tigers home opener against South Carolina State, he’ll be back in Tiger Town as Clemson opens up conference play against Georgia Tech this Saturday.

Clemson already feels like family for Sadler and a lot of that has to do with the coaching staff.

“It’s a great relationship,” Sadler said when asked about his connections with Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell and offensive analyst Thomas Austin. “I’ve been able to know Coach Caldwell a little bit longer than I’ve known Coach Austin, but the more I talk to Coach Austin, the more I love him and the more I see Coach Caldwell in him. I’m going in with great expectations for the people there and the development there.”

According to Sadler, Caldwell will communicate with him about once every day and he’ll call him about once a week. He wants to give Sadler the space to enjoy his senior year as much as he can.

Sadler has the positional flexibility to play all across the line. He plays left tackle for Greenville, but he’s not coming into Clemson with the expectation to play any position 

“One of the things that Coach Caldwell really likes about me was versatility,” he said. “He believes that I’m flexible enough to play center, strong enough for guard and athletic enough for tackle. As long as I’m on the field, I’m happy.”

What can Clemson fans expect out of Sadler and what does he bring to the table?

“I believe I can bring a finishing attitude,” Sadler said. “I love to finish blocks. I love to put people in the ground. My whole mentality going in there early is just to work as hard as possible. I’m going in there with the intention to start my freshman year, if at all possible. I’m just gonna take it day by day and work as hard as I can.”

Local standout ‘shocked’ by huge offer from Clemson

A local offensive lineman received a long-awaited and highly coveted offer from Clemson on Wednesday.

The Tigers extended an offer to four-star class of 2023 recruit Markee Anderson of Dorman High School (Roebuck, S.C.).

Anderson is just the second offensive lineman in the 2023 class to earn an offer from Clemson, joining Oceanside Collegiate Academy (Mount Pleasant, S.C.) four-star Monroe Freeling.

“I was very excited and shocked,” Anderson told The Clemson Insider, “and it means a lot to be offered from a local school.”

Anderson is tabbed by 247Sports as the No. 2 prospect in the state of South Carolina, No. 8 offensive tackle nationally and No. 129 overall prospect in the country for the 2023 class. Rivals ranks him as the No. 3 prospect in the Palmetto State and considers him the No. 14 offensive guard in his class.

Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell informed the 6-foot-6, 303-pound junior of his offer.

“I found out from Coach Caldwell,” Anderson said. “Coach Caldwell said he loves my technique, wanted to let me know I have an offer from Clemson.”

Anderson, who worked out with Caldwell at the Dabo Swinney Camp this summer, intends to return to campus for a game this season but has not yet set a visit date.

“Not sure yet,” he said, “but I do plan on visiting soon.”

Anderson was at South Carolina’s season opener against Eastern Illinois last Saturday and is slated to attend the Gamecocks’ game against Kentucky on Sept. 25.

South Carolina has also offered Anderson, along with Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Arkansas and Clemson.

Where do the Tigers stand with the local standout now that they have pulled the trigger on a major offer?

“Don’t have a top (schools list) currently,” Anderson said, “but Clemson is definitely going to be high on my list.”

Top Palmetto State prospect says ‘it was great’ to hear from Tigers

One of the Palmetto State’s top prospects has seen his recruiting process heat up since Sept. 1, when college football coaches and recruiting staffs were allowed to begin actively reaching out to high school juniors in the 2023 class via text …

One of the Palmetto State’s top prospects has seen his recruiting process heat up since Sept. 1, when college football coaches and recruiting staffs were allowed to begin actively reaching out to high school juniors in the 2023 class via text messages and direct messages on social media platforms.

Dorman High School (Roebuck, S.C.) four-star offensive lineman Markee Anderson told The Clemson Insider that he was contacted by 32 coaches when the calendar turned to September.

“It’s been amazing getting to hear from all these coaches,” he said.

For Clemson, it was offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell, offensive coordinator Tony Elliott, offensive line analyst Thomas Austin and director of recruiting Jordan Sorrells who all reached out to Anderson.

“It was great finally being able to text and receive messages from them,” Anderson said. “They said they were looking forward to talking to me and seeing me down there for a game.”

Anderson said he plans to attend some games at Death Valley this season and is “looking forward to it a lot.” He visited South Carolina for its game vs. Eastern Illinois this past Saturday and is slated to return to Columbia for the Gamecocks’ game against Kentucky on Sept. 25.

The 6-foot-6, 303-pound Anderson has an offer from South Carolina to go with offers from Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Arkansas, while he is garnering interest from schools such as Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Louisville, Missouri, Vanderbilt and Coastal Carolina.

This summer, Anderson visited South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia Tech along with Clemson, where he competed at the Dabo Swinney Camp.

Dorman High School has sent a bunch of players to the Clemson football program in the past, and Anderson would love to have the opportunity to continue the local talent pipeline and have the chance to suit up for the Tigers in the future.

“To get an offer from Clemson would mean a lot,” he said. “The great coaching staff [stands out].”

Anderson is tabbed by 247Sports as the No. 2 prospect in the state of South Carolina, No. 8 offensive tackle nationally and No. 129 overall prospect in the country for the 2023 class. Rivals ranks him as the No. 3 prospect in the Palmetto State and considers him the No. 14 offensive guard in his class.

2023 Ohio OL ‘so excited’ to announce Clemson offer

An offensive lineman in the 2023 class reported an offer from Clemson, via social media on Thursday evening.

Findlay (Oh.) High School four-star Luke Montgomery announced an offer from the Tigers on Twitter.

Clemson was the only school in Montgomery’s top-12 that had yet to offer him a scholarship. That obviously changed on Thursday.

Montgomery (6-5, 260) included Clemson in his top 12 back in late June alongside Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, South Carolina, Stanford and Tennessee.

Montgomery is considered a defensive tackle by 247Sports, while Rivals rates him as an offensive lineman.

According to Rivals’ rankings, Montgomery ranks as the No. 3 prospect in the state of Ohio, No. 7 offensive lineman and No. 82 overall prospect nationally, regardless of position in the 2023 class.

“I love Clemson, I love Coach Swinney,” Montgomery told The Clemson Insider heading into his Clemson visit. “He’s a great Christian coach. He has a great personality. Obviously, I’ve never met him before, but I just can’t wait to be able to come down there and be able to see all that. So, it’s pretty exciting.”

In addition to Clemson, he visited Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State and Tennessee over the summer.

Clemson has now offered three offensive linemen in the 2023 class, including offers to both Montgomery and Life Christian Academy (Chester, Va.) three-star Joshua Miller Thursday.

Prior to Thursday, Mount Pleasant (S.C.) Oceanside Collegiate Academy four-star OT Monroe Freeling was the lone offensive lineman in the Class of 2023 with a Clemson offer.

As soon as the clock struck midnight on Sept. 1, Joshua Miller heard from Clemson.

It was only a matter of time before the big-time offensive lineman from Life Christian Academy in Colonial Heights (Va.) received an offer from his “dream school.”

“It felt great, I had a few coaches from Clemson hit me up,” Miller told The Clemson Insider. “It’s honestly starting to be a dream come true being on the radar of one of the top schools in the country.”

It was Wednesday night when Miller found out that he was more than just on the Tigers’ radar.

Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell called Miller last night and told him he was going to be offering him.

His reaction?

“I was super hype, jumping up and down,” he said. “All my teammates was hyping me up.”

Caldwell went through Miller’s head coach at Life Christain Academy before Miller officially announced the offer on social media Thursday morning.

“It means a lot! They’ve been my dream school since I started watching football,” Miller said. My emotions are all over the place (right now). I been through a lot to get here.

“My dad passed in 2019 from pancreatic cancer and he always pushed me to be the best player I could be, so I know he’s watching what I’m doing, proud as ever. And, my uncle just passed away yesterday morning, so everything I’m doing is for those two. The feeling is surreal. I’m just extremely blessed to be in this position.”

A versatile Volunteer State prospect hit the road this summer to visit some schools, including Clemson. Paris (Tenn.) Henry County 2023 offensive lineman Luke Brown traveled to campus in June to compete at the Dabo Swinney Camp. Brown (6-5, 300) …

A versatile Volunteer State prospect hit the road this summer to visit some schools, including Clemson.

Paris (Tenn.) Henry County 2023 offensive lineman Luke Brown traveled to campus in June to compete at the Dabo Swinney Camp.

Brown (6-5, 300) ranks as the nation’s No. 7 interior offensive lineman in the 2023 class, per 247Sports’ recruiting rankings.

“Clemson was amazing,” Brown told The Clemson Insider. “It was my first little road trip of the summer. I went to a few other schools on the way, but Clemson by far is very impressive. Everything [from the] facilities, staff, campus. It’s just amazing.”

Brown worked out in front of Clemson’s offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell and offensive analyst Thomas Austin. After camping, the two coaches invited Brown and his family on a visit.

Brown’s coaches reached out to Clemson and Caldwell early on his recruitment. There’s a relationship there that goes back to Nashville.

“He heard I could play a little bit,” Brown said of Caldwell. “We went down there for camp. He was impressed with my ability to move and my feet for my size and was looking forward to having me come back sometime this fall.”

Brown isn’t too sure what game he plans to return to The Valley for. His family is considering coming up for the Florida State game on Oct. 30, but there’s no date set in stone just yet.

While he doesn’t hold that Clemson offer just yet, Brown believes that the film from his junior season will be a big factor in whether he gets the offer or not.

Regardless, he’s looking forward to continuing to build a relationship with Caldwell over the next few months and getting to know a bit more about Clemson’s offensive line coach and the program itself, he said.

“It means a lot,” Brown added regarding building a relationship with Caldwell, Austin and Clemson. “You don’t see Clemson offers every day and when they do offer it has to mean something because when they offer, it’s always committable. That means they fully believe in your talents and your ability to play there.”

Brown hasn’t heard too much from Caldwell as of late. It’s been about a month. However, he told TCI that he expects to hear from Caldwell at some point in the near future, considering that programs can start reaching out to players in the 2023 class, now that it’s Sept. 1.

“They’re pretty high up,” he said when asked where Clemson currently stands in his recruitment. “It’s hard not to commit to a place like that if they offer you, especially with all the tools they have to push you forward, not as just an athlete, but as a person…Easily, they’d be a top option if they’d offer.”

Brown plans on enrolling early, wherever he goes, so he’s hoping to have a decision made around at least sometime next summer. 

With that being said, what is Brown looking for in a school at the next level?

“What I’m looking for in a school is obviously the academics,” he said. “That comes first because it’s a decision that you have to make in this position is a 40-year decision, not just a 4-year. After academics, it goes to the coaching staff and the people around you, who you’re going to be around every day and who’s going to push you and try to push you up to the next level. And then wherever it feels like home.”

Speaking of coaching staffs, Brown doesn’t have too much of a relationship with Clemson’s just yet. That has more so to do with what’s been happening in Brown’s personal life, so he pushed himself to stay away from the football side of things this summer.

Brown hasn’t been reaching out to too many coaches, he’s just been getting locked in for his junior season, focusing on what lies ahead for him and his teammates.

“When I was (at Clemson) and I spent the afternoon with Coach Austin after my camp, he was a great guy,” Brown said. “Good personality, both of them. Look forward to talking to them real soon.”

As far as this season is concerned, Brown is just trying to get better every day.

“Physical off the ball, dominant and plays with an attitude is probably what I would describe myself as,” he said.

Brown plays left tackle for his high school, but some people project him to play guard at the next level. He has the positional versatility to play each position across the offensive line and has played every one of them except for right guard.

Brown would prefer to stay on the left side, guard or tackle. It doesn’t matter to him.

Clemson offer ‘would mean everything’ to highly regarded Georgia OL

This top offensive line prospect has come a long way in the recruiting process. As a high school freshman, Johnathan “Bo” Hughley didn’t own a single scholarship offer. Now, as a junior, the four-star offensive tackle from Langston Hughes High …

This top offensive line prospect has come a long way in the recruiting process.

As a high school freshman, Johnathan “Bo” Hughley didn’t own a single scholarship offer. Now, as a junior, the four-star offensive tackle from Langston Hughes High School (Fairburn, Ga.) holds more than a dozen offers and is considered one of the top players at his position — and a top-75 national prospect in the 2023 class regardless of position — by multiple recruiting services.

“Everything’s been going perfect actually,” Hughley said of the recruiting process in a recent interview with The Clemson Insider. “In my ninth-grade year, I didn’t have any offers, and for me to gain as many offers as I could from 10th grade to the beginning of my 11th-grade [year] is awesome. So, everything’s been going good.”

Hughley is ranked as the No. 5 offensive tackle and No. 60 overall prospect in the 2023 class by Rivals, while ESPN touts him as the No. 6 OT and No. 68 overall prospect in his class. According to the 247Sports Composite, he is the No. 6 OT and No. 72 overall prospect in the class.

The 6-foot-7, 290-pounder had a busy summer traveling around the South to check out a bunch of schools, including Clemson. He competed at the Dabo Swinney Camp in June and got attention from offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell while on campus.

“When I went, I did the camp first,” Hughley said. “It was two parts of the camp. During the little break part, the coaches took me — and I was with a couple of my teammates, so they were with me — and we did a tour around the school, tried on uniforms, etcetera. And the conversation we were having with the coaches, I was really blessed that he [Caldwell] came to me personally for a conversation, and out of the whole group, I stood out to him. The bond I feel like I could build with the coaches would be great.”

Caldwell gave Hughley’s camp showing positive reviews, while also sending him home with feedback that Hughley could use to improve his game as an offensive lineman.

“He was telling me how he liked my camp performance, but he gave me some tips on what I could work on,” Hughley said.

The coaching Hughley received at the camp from not only Caldwell and Clemson’s staff, but also some of the current players that worked the camp, stood out to him and told him a lot about the coaches.

“The players were coaching us, and it’s great that the players can take the knowledge that they’ve learned from practice and camps and come put it in and help the youth,” Hughley said. “That shows a lot about the coaching. It shows that the coaches are actually coaching and showing the players how to play the game of football.”

Along with Clemson, Hughley visited schools such as Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, North Carolina and North Carolina A&T this summer.

Hughley’s offer list includes Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Ole Miss, Florida State, Miami, UCF, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh and West Virginia among others.

Hughley plans to narrow things down sometime during his junior year but doesn’t intend to commit until his senior year in 2022. As of now, he says “everything’s still wide open” in his recruitment.

Hughley has learned that Clemson takes the recruiting process slower than most schools, so he is staying patient as he keeps his fingers crossed for a potential offer from the Tigers down the road.

“Clemson is one of the schools I’m waiting on to offer me,” he said.

“Honestly, it would mean everything,” he added of a Clemson offer. “I have dreamed about going to Clemson.”

Standout in-state OL on radar of Tigers, Gamecocks

A standout Palmetto State prospect is on the recruiting radar for in-state rivals Clemson and South Carolina.

Dillon (S.C.) High School 2024 offensive tackle Josiah Thompson told TCI that the Gamecocks have been showing a lot of interest, as has Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell.

Caldwell has conveyed to Thompson that he looks forward to seeing him play this season and has heard good things about him from his coaches. The two had a chance to work together at the Dabo Swinney Camp in June, and Thompson came away impressed by Caldwell after spending time around him.

“He is an amazing person and awesome at his job,” Thompson said. “Since then (the camp) our relationship has been growing fast, likewise to being able to talk to him about anything.”

South Carolina, Kentucky and NC State have already offered Thompson, a 6-foot-6, 300-pound sophomore, while North Carolina is another school that has shown interest.

“As being an OL, I am a very humbled player,” Thompson said, describing himself as an offensive lineman. “I know the difference of being mentally tough and physically tough, and I can use that on and off the field. If any of my other OL teammates make a mistake, I know how to correct without making them lose any confidence. I play my games with passion but not emotional, because I know emotions can get you in trouble.”

Living closer to Columbia than Clemson in Dillon, S.C., Thompson grew up in a family of Gamecock fans and has visited South Carolina a few times this summer.

However, Thompson is hoping to earn an offer from Clemson down the road after having a great experience during his first-ever visit to campus for the Swinney Camp this summer.

“What stands out to me the most was the excitement the coaches and their players had that they were able to teach young athletes,” he said, “and how honest they were about your wrongs and told you how to do it right.”

Clemson OL commit ‘can’t wait’ to start career as a Tiger

The beginning of Blake Miller’s Clemson career is right around the corner.

But before he arrives on campus in January as an early enrollee, the four-star offensive lineman from Strongsville (Ohio) High School is looking to finish his high school career in strong fashion during his senior season, which kicked off Friday.

“I want to end my high school career on a high note,” he said.

While Miller is focused on putting his best foot forward in his final campaign with the Strongsville Mustangs, he can’t hold back his excitement for what the future holds for him at Clemson.

“I can’t wait,” he said, looking ahead to the start of his Tiger career.

In the meantime, Miller – who became Clemson’s first 2022 commitment in October 2020 – continues to stay in touch with offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell.

“He’s been telling me about how they’re doing preparing for the season,” Miller said.

Miller sees a big season in store for the Tigers, who are seeking their seventh straight ACC Championship and hoping to make their seventh consecutive College Football Playoff appearance.

“I think they’re going to be very successful this year,” he said.

As for the marquee season-opening matchup against Georgia in Charlotte on Sept. 4, Miller made his prediction and as you would expect, he has faith that his future team will come out on top.

“I think it will be a close game,” he said, “but I think Clemson will end up winning.”

When Miller joins the Tigers in the offensive trenches next year, what can Clemson fans expect to see from the 6-foot-6, 315-pounder on the field?

“An OL that brings it every play,” he said.

Miller is rated as a four-star prospect by ESPN, Rivals and the 247Sports Composite. He is ranked as high as the No. 13 offensive tackle and No. 135 overall prospect in the 2022 class by Rivals.
