Son of ‘die-hard’ Gamecock fan ready to live out his dream at Clemson

West Columbia (S.C.) Gray Collegiate Academy quarterback Hunter Helms saw a long-time dream come true on Wednesday when he committed to play for the Clemson football program.

The talented 2020 signal-caller chose a preferred walk-on offer from the Tigers over a scholarship offer from South Florida and several other Division I offers.

He originally committed to Holy Cross last summer before reopening his recruitment in November.

“It’s my dream school,” Helms said of Clemson. “Ever since I can remember I’ve been going to Clemson games, and going up there – like, just the drive – it just makes me happy, like I’m going to Tigertown.
