Noah DeHond still has another season of football to play for The Peddie School in Hightstown, N.J., but his heart and soul are already firmly planted in Clemson. Visit his Twitter page, and you'll see the hashtags “#ALLIN” and “#WE2DEEP17.”
“I grew up up North,” the four-star behemoth (6-foot-7, 325-pound) offensive tackle said. “But my heart was born down South.”
A shining star in what already looks to be a stellar 2017 freshman class, DeHond verbally committed to the Tigers in August. Before deciding on Clemson, he fielded offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Louisville, Miami, UNC, South Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin, among others.
