A highly regarded offensive lineman from the Volunteer State included Clemson in his top group on Friday.

Lipscomb Academy (Nashville, Tenn.) four-star Chauncey Gooden announced a top 10 via social media featuring Clemson along with Michigan, Oregon, Auburn, Colorado, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, Missouri and Georgia.

The 6-foot-4, 315-pound junior is ranked as high as the No. 154 overall prospect in the 2025 class by 247Sports, which considers him the nation’s No. 8 interior offensive lineman in his class and the No. 4 overall prospect in the state of Tennessee.

Gooden received an offer from Clemson back on May 31 when the Tigers began extending 2025 offers. He visited Clemson for the first time this spring and left campus very impressed.
