On Thursday, Daleville (Va.) Lord Botetourt four-star offensive lineman Jesse Hanson received the scholarship offer he had been waiting his whole life for — an offer from Clemson.
Hanson — who committed to Virginia Tech in February — grew up a Clemson fan and has dreamed of playing for the Tigers since he was little. Both of his parents graduated from Clemson, while his father’s youngest brother and mother’s brother are both Clemson alumni, too.
So, Clemson’s offer is obviously big for the 6-foot-5, 296-pound lineman.
“Any time the childhood dream comes true, something you worked for forever… Any time you talked to me as a kid, if you didn’t see me in Clemson stuff, I’d tell you about Clemson at some point,” Hanson told The Clemson Insider.
