One Florida signal caller made his return to Clemson for the spring game.
2028 quarterback Luke Toland (Bolles School, FL) was on hand for the spring game in late March.
Toland is no stranger to Clemson, having already made multiple visits, including for the season-opening loss to LSU last season. He also spends a lot of time in the area vacationing on Lake Keowee.
“I have been up there plenty of times, and every time I go up there, it’s refreshing almost,” Toland told The Clemson Insider. “It is a great school, great campus, great coaches. Always awesome to be up there.”
The rising junior is also a former teammate of current freshman wideout Naeem Burroughs, and this most recent visit gave the two a chance to catch up.
“It was awesome seeing him run with the ones in a Clemson uniform,” Toland added. “He is a lot bigger now. Looks like he has put on some pounds. He looked great out there.”
The 6-foot-1 quarterback currently has more than half a dozen offers, with Samford being the latest to pull the trigger. Wide receivers coach Tyler Grisham played a part in that offer. Former Clemson assistant John Grass is currently the head coach, and his staff is littered with coaches who came through Clemson.
However, with Toland about to start his junior campaign, his offer list is expected to grow. The quarterback is planning to work out at several camps this summer in an effort to make that happen.
Toland will be back at Clemson in June for camp. He also plans to work out at Boston College and Samford. Princeton and Harvard have shown recent interest, and the quarterback said he might camp at both Ivy League schools.
An offer from the Tigers is one Toland is really chasing. In fact, he said in the past that the offer would be “life-changing.”
“It is just the community and the culture they have there,” Toland said. “It is so built-in. They are gelled as a team. That is how it comes off to me. They are having fun out there. It is just that culture.”
And the disappointing 2025 campaign that saw Clemson stumble to a 7-6 season, it’s worst since 2010, has not changed Toland’s views in any way.
“Bump in the road, honestly,” Toland said. “Definitely didn’t change my view, I still love that place.”
