Clemson has picked up a new commitment from a class of 2020 prospect fresh off a decommitment from another ACC school.

On Friday, Birmingham (Ala.) Briarwood Christian three-star offensive lineman Trent Howard announced his verbal pledge to Clemson and intent to sign with the Tigers on Dec. 18, the first day of the early signing period.

Howard (6-4, 285), who de-committed from Georgia Tech on Thursday, becomes the 21st commitment and sixth O-line commit in Clemson’s 2020 recruiting class.

“I am truly blessed to announce that I have been offered an opportunity to attend Clemson University, a place I have dreamed about being for years,” Howard wrote in a Twitter post. “I am honored & so excited to say I am committed to Clemson University & will be signing my LOI on Dec 18th.”

In addition to Clemson and Georgia Tech, Howard held offers from Boston College, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Mississippi State, Wake Forest and Navy among others.

Howard’s father, Johnny, played with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney at Alabama.
