Clemson joins Georgia and South Carolina in final trio for four-star lineman Sam Walker
Clemson is one of three schools left in the recruiting race for four-star interior lineman Sam Walker, who narrowed his choices to Clemson, Georgia and South Carolina.
Four-star interior offensive lineman Sam Walker, who plays at Carrollton Central in Georgia, revealed on social media that his college decision has been narrowed to three finalists: Clemson, Georgia and South Carolina. Clemson entered the competition in mid-June after extending an offer and has quickly risen to become one of Walker's preferred destinations. Ranked seventh among interior linemen in the 2028 recruiting class, Walker is a priority for Clemson's offensive line coach Matt Luke, who has emphasized building a stronger line since arriving in Tigertown.
Securing a prospect of Walker's caliber would add significant depth to the Tigers' upcoming roster. Clemson's 2028 class currently includes a single commitment from Trace Hawkins, and Walker remains the most prominent remaining target. The program now aims to outpace its regional rivals to win the highly regarded recruit.
Why it matters
Landing a top interior lineman could significantly boost Clemson's future football performance.
