Birmingham (Ala.) Briarwood Christian offensive lineman Trent Howard grew up dreaming of playing for Clemson, and a late offer from the Tigers is all it took to flip his commitment from another ACC school.
The three-star offensive guard had been committed to Georgia Tech since June but de-committed on Thursday and then gave his verbal pledge to Clemson on Friday.
Head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell informed Howard earlier in the week that there was room for him in the 2020 recruiting class if he wanted to jump on board.
“Coach Swinney and Coach Caldwell reached out to me earlier this week and said that they had a spot for me,” Howard told The Clemson Insider.
