Clemson signee Trent Howard, an offensive lineman from Briarwood Christian High School in Birmingham, Alabama, was named the state’s Class 5A Lineman of the Year this week.
One of the most versatile offensive linemen in the Clemson freshman class who played all five positions on the line in high school, Howard (6-4, 285) started at multiple O-line positions in 2019 based on whom was the best defensive lineman his team would face. He recorded 38 pancake blocks, yielded only two quarterback hurries and did not allow a sack as a senior this season while leading Briarwood Christian to a 12-2 record.
