WAKE FOREST, N.C. – Dexter Lawrence, the No. 2 overall prospect in the class of 2016, announced a commitment to Clemson on Monday afternoon.

The U.S. Army All-American picked the Tigers over NC State, Alabama, Florida, Ohio State and UNC.

With his commitment, Lawrence joins four-star Nyles Pinckney, who pulled the trigger in the fall. Like Pinckney, Lawrence will enroll at Clemson in January.

As a senior, Lawrence had 91 tackles and 13 sacks.
