Peach State defensive lineman recruit lists Clemson as a finalist

Despite already having four defensive lineman commits in its 2023 class, Clemson is in the mix for another Peach State defensive lineman prospect.

Clemson is in contention for another 2023 Peach State prospect.

Announcing the decision on his Instagram, four-star defensive lineman T.J. Searcy has narrowed his team list down to Clemson, Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee. 247Sports Composite ranks the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Searcy as the No. 20 defensive lineman in the nation and the No. 153 overall prospect.

Playing for Upson-Lee High School (Thomaston, Ga.), Searcy officially visited Clemson on June 3 and has since visited his other three finalists.

As of Monday, the Tigers have four defensive lineman commits in their 2023 class: four-star Vic Burley, four-star Stephiylan Green, four-star David Ojiegbe and four-star AJ Hoffler. Burley, Green and Hoffler are all from Georgia, meaning if Searcy commits to Clemson, the Tigers would have four defensive line commits from the neighboring state.

Clemson has also been listed as a finalist for four-star defensive lineman Keldric Faulk and five-star defensive lineman Peter Woods, who will commit on July 5 and July 8, respectively.

Four recruits to keep an eye on that Clemson could land in the coming weeks

With Clemson already boasting a top-five 2023 recruiting class, here are four potential prospects the Tigers could still land in the coming weeks.

Clemson has been one of the hottest teams in 2023 recruiting the last few weeks, but the Tigers may not be done making noise yet.

In the month of June, the Tigers secured 11 pledges from recruits, nine of which are four-star prospects, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. In the past week alone, the Tigers landed two four-star defensive linemen in AJ Hoffler and Stephiylan Green.

With Hoffler and Green’s announcements, Clemson’s 2023 class has 14 verbal commitments and is the No. 3 class in the nation, according to 247Sports’ rankings. Even with the recent bombardment of success, the Tigers have a chance to climb the rankings even more.

Clemson is still in the mix for many recruits, but here are four highly-rated prospects that the Tigers have a great chance of landing in the coming weeks.

Priority four-star defensive lineman puts Clemson in top four, sets commitment date

After already landing four defensive linemen in its 2023 class Clemson is in contention for another four-star prospect.

Clemson could soon add a fifth defensive lineman to its 2023 recruiting class.

Announcing he will make his decision on July 5, four-star defensive lineman Keldric Faulk has narrowed his potential team list down to Auburn, Clemson, Florida and Florida State.

247Sports Composite ranks the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Faulk as the No. 9 defensive lineman and the No. 84 overall 2023 prospect. As a junior in 2021, he had 82 tackles (30 for loss), 11 sacks and six pass breakups.

An Alabama native, Faulk officially visited Clemson on June 3, along with 29 other prospects, many of whom have committed to Clemson. Since June 3, he has also officially visited the other three finalists.

If Faulk chooses the Tigers, he will join Vic Burley, Stephiylan Green, David Ojiegbe and AJ Hoffler as Clemson’s defensive line commits.

Clemson picks up 2nd four-star defensive lineman commit in past two days

Clemson continues to build its 2023 recruiting class, this time adding its fourth four-star defensive line commitment.

Clemson has added a big-time defensive line recruit to its 2023 class for the second time in the past two days.

Announcing his decision at Rome High School in Rome, Ga., four-star defensive lineman Stephiylan Green has committed to Clemson, choosing the Tigers over Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee.

Although Clemson didn’t offer the 6-foot-4, 267-pound Green until June 7, he officially visited on June 3 along with 29 other recruits.

“Ever since I’ve been going up to Clemson it’s felt like a team to me,” Green told 247Sports’ Rusty Mansell. “I have bonded with those guys.”

Green’s commitment comes one day after four-star defensive lineman AJ Hoffler announced his pledge to the Tigers. Along with Green and Hoffler, Clemson has pledges from four-star defensive lineman Vic Burley and four-star edge David Ojiegbe.

Clemson now has 14 commitments to its 2023 class, which before Green’s decision, 247Sports Composite ranked as the No. 4 class in the nation.

Clemson has landed another highly-touted 2023 prospect.

4-star DL Vic Burley commits to Clemson over MSU, Georgia, Tennessee

For the second time this week, Michigan State came up short against in Clemson in a notable recruiting battle

For the second time this week, Michigan State came up short against in Clemson in a notable recruiting battle.

Four-star defensive lineman Vic Burley announced on Wednesday that he’ll be committing to Clemson. Burley chose the Tigers over Michigan State, Georgia and Tennessee.

Burley is listed as the No. 22 overall player and No. 4 defensive lineman in 247Sports’ rankings for the 2023 class. Burley had taken an official visit to Michigan State two weeks ago, and appeared to be very much interested in the Spartans but it was Clemson who won the recruiting battle in the end.

Earlier this week, four-star linebacker Jamal Anderson also committed to Clemson over the Spartans. Both players are from Georgia so location could have been a factor in their decisions as well.

Clemson lands commitment from top-25 national recruit, one of nation’s top d-linemen

Clemson has landed a commitment from one of the nation’s top defensive linemen in the 2023 recruiting class.

Warner Robins (Ga.) High School four-star Vic Burley announced his verbal pledge to the Tigers on Wednesday afternoon.

Burley (6-5, 275) is ranked as high as the nation’s No. 22 overall prospect in the 2023 class by 247Sports, which considers him the No. 2 prospect in the Peach State and No. 4 defensive lineman in the country for his class.

Clemson beat out Georgia, Michigan State and Tennessee, among others, for Burley’s commitment.

As The Clemson Insider reported in the latest edition of The Insider Report on Monday, we gathered enough information to make a sunny forecast for Burley heading into his commitment.

While Burley wasn’t in attendance for Clemson’s official visit weekend from June 3-5, TCI was told by a source not to discount players who weren’t in town as a wave of commitments came in early last week.

And while Burley last visited for Clemson’s Elite Junior Day on Jan. 31, it was then that he told TCI that the Tigers were at the top of his recruitment. He just wanted to make other visits before pulling the trigger on a commitment.

“I know they’re at the top, I just don’t really have a good (feel) on my list right now,” he said back in January. “But I know they’re at the top, though.”

One thing stands out the most to Burley when he thinks about Clemson’s program.

“They think more of the person than the athlete,” he said.

Burley becomes the 11th commitment in Clemson’s 2023 recruiting class overall, joining Briarwood Christian (Birmingham, Ala.) five-star quarterback Christopher Vizzina, St. John’s (Washington, D.C.) four-star defensive end David Ojiegbe, Vandegrift (Austin, Texas) four-star offensive lineman Ian Reed, Westlake (Atlanta, Ga.) four-star cornerback Avieon Terrell, First Baptist Academy (Naples, Fla.) four-star tight end Olsen Patt Henry, St. Francis (Alpharetta, Ga.) four-star cornerback Branden Strozier, Sumner (Riverview, Fla.) four-star safety Kylen Webb, Rockwall (Texas) four-star wide receiver Noble Johnson, Mill Creek (Hoschton, Ga.) four-star linebacker Jamal Anderson and Archbishop Wood (Warminster, Pa.) three-star tight end Markus Dixon.

Georgia’s second-ranked recruit in ready to commit

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top schools for four-star defensive line recruit Vic Burley, but Clemson is favored to land his commitment.

Four-star defensive line recruit Victor “Vic” Burley is the second-ranked played in Georgia. Burley is the No. 40 recruit in the country and is not far from being ranked as a five-star recruit.

Now, Burley is ready to make a commitment. The four-star defensive lineman will decide between Georgia, Clemson, Tennessee, and Michigan State on June 15 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. Burley has taken recent visits to each of these schools, but he is expected to commit to the Clemson Tigers per 247Sports.

Vic Burley plays high school football for Warner Robins High School in Warner Robins, Georgia. Burley is also considered the No. 4 defensive lineman in the country. He would be Clemson’s second highest rated recruit in the class of 2023.

The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Warner Robins star plans to play in the 2023 All-American Bowl.

The four-star defensive lineman has offers from schools across the country like Arkansas, Oklahoma, Penn State, Miami, Michigan and many more. Burley also impresses in track and field for Warner Robins. He has put up some impressive numbers in shot put and in discus.

Warner Robins’ football team has won back-to-back 5A state championships in Georgia.
