5-star Clemson OL receives big honor

A five-star offensive lineman who enrolled at Clemson this summer received a big honor this week.

Fairfax (Va.) Robinson Secondary School’s Tristan Leigh has been named the 2021 DC Touchdown Club Virginia High School Player of the Year.

Leigh came to Clemson rated as a five-star prospect by Rivals, 247Sports and the 247Sports Composite, the latter of which considers him the No. 1 prospect in the state of Virginia, No. 4 offensive tackle nationally and No. 13 overall prospect for the 2021 class.

Leigh, who also played basketball in high school, committed to Clemson this past January, choosing Dabo Swinney’s program over offers from Oklahoma, Florida, LSU, Alabama and Ohio State among many others.
