Scouting Report: Nation's top defensive player breaks down number one center

After a weekend visit to Clemson, the nation’s top-rated center, Ryan Linthicum, committed to Clemson Monday afternoon.

The 2021 Damascus (MD) offensive lineman will join 2020 top-rated prospect and teammate Bryan Bresee in Clemson. Linthicum joins Powder Springs (GA) McEachern wide receiver Dacari Collins, Loganville (GA) Grayson running back Phil Mafah and Philadelphia (PA) St. Joseph’s linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. in Clemson’s 2021 class.

Bresee is the top-ranked defensive lineman for the 2020 class, so who better to ask to about his counterpart on the offensive line?

With Damascus is a relatively small town in Maryland, Bresee said it’s special to have two major college football prospects heading to the same university.
