Could Clemson land an offensive lineman soon?
Matt Luke may have just been recently hired as Clemson's offensive line coach but December isn't a month that allows any coaches to sit around and get acclimated to their new surroundings. Luke has found a target that Clemson is gaining real momentum with before Early Signing Day later this month.
Elyjah Thurmon, who plays for Bradwell Institute out of Hinesville, Georgia, has received a crystal ball prediction from 247 insider Cory Fravel with a fairly high confidence level of 7 out of 10.
Elyjah Thurman is a football and basketball star for Bradwell Institute in Georgia.
Thurmon is a 4-star prospect according to the 247 Composite rankings, coming in as the 22nd-best interior offensive lineman in the nation. He stands at a whopping 6'5 and 278 lbs and, at that size, was a pretty good basketball player his junior season as well. He averaged 16.2 points and 13.4 rebounds per game, showing just how well he can move and carry his weight around.
The big man has been invited to participate in both the Under Armour All-America Game and the Polynesian Bowl so Clemson fans may get a glimpse of his talent before he even steps foot on a campus.
Thurmon did just come off an official visit to South Carolina so they remain a player as well but the prediction that close after the Clemson visit bodes well for the Tigers' chances.
