Priority Clemson OL Target Sets Commitment Date
By: jasonpriester June 24, 2024

Hardy Watts’ recruitment is coming to a close.

The 4-star OL (Dexter, Brookline, Ma) has set a commitment date of July 1. Watts, one of the Tigers’ top remaining uncommitted offensive line targets, will choose between Michigan, Wisconsin and Clemson.

Watts took an official visit to Clemson in early June, but was not able to attend the official visit weekend due to a scheduling conflict at his high school. He came in on that Sunday and stayed through Tuesday.

The blue-chip talent also took officials to Wisconsin and is fresh off an official to Michigan. He had officials planned to Boston College and Duke but eventually scrapped those plans.

“It checks all the boxes. All the boxes are checked,” Watts told TCI following his official visit. “Clemson set the bar. And I think it’ll be interesting to see how other schools compare. Because I was just absolutely amazed and blown away by the generosity and the hospitality and quality of the people at Clemson.”

The Tigers already have three blue-chip offensive linemen committed in the 2025 class but are still looking to add up to two more players at the position.
