Gavin Blanchard was just waiting on the offer.
Blanchard, a 4-star offensive lineman out of Zephyrhills (FL) Wiregrass, announced a commitment to Clemson on Friday afternoon, ending his prior commitment to UCF.
Blanchard, born in Greenville, always had Clemson at the top of his list during the recruiting process. And Clemson offensive line coach Matt Luke always liked him as a guard or center.
“After I committed to UCF, they still pushed how they really wanted me,” Blanchard said. “The main thing was, I had to get my grades up. That’s the reason they didn’t offer me earlier.
