2023 Performance
After losing just one starter (Jordan McFadden) to the NFL, the Clemson Tigers entered 2023 with a lot of optimism about their offensive line. With four starters returning, major progress was expected but not delivered. The four returning starters made small incremental gains at most while having worse injury luck.
Right guard Walker Parks was lost for the season after Week 2. Despite much chatter that the offensive line was deeper than ever, that one loss seemed to send unrecoverable shockwaves across the offensive line. Trent Howard, Harris Sewell, and Mitchell Mayes all had opportunities to solidify the middle of the offensive line, but all posted final season PFF grades below 53.
