Usually, it’s the coaches who make the biggest impression on recruits, but Clemson University President Jim Clements was that guy to one elite offensive lineman this past weekend.
Fletcher Westphal (6-7, 305) is a 4-star 2024 offensive tackle prospect out of Leesburg (VA) Tuscarora who has offers from Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Florida State, Michigan, and Wisconsin, among others. Clemson hosted more than 20 of the nation’s top 2024 recruits for an official visit over the weekend, and Westphal was in that group.
Westphal, who has the Tigers in his top five, says that everyone at Clemson is connected.
