Clemson Makes Top Schools List for 4-Star Tampa Lineman

A four-star offensive lineman from the Sunshine State included Clemson in his top schools list on Monday.

Canon Pickett, a class of 2026 prospect from Tampa Bay Tech, dropped a top 10 featuring Clemson along with LSU, Miami, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Florida State, Oklahoma, Auburn and Vanderbilt.

Pickett, who owns three dozen total offers, is the 25th-ranked interior offensive lineman and No. 340 overall prospect in the country for the 2026 class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Clemson offensive line coach Matt Luke was down in the Tampa area in late January and did an in-home visit with Pickett. It marked Luke’s second time visiting with Pickett, who hasn’t yet picked up an offer from the Tigers.

The 6-foot-5, 300-pounder recently told The Clemson Insider that he planned to visit Clemson in the spring but had yet to finalize a specific date.
