Clemson sends out offer to 2016 OL

By Hale McGranahan.

Clemson sent out an offer to three-star offensive lineman Tremayne Anchrum Jr. on Monday night.

The 2016 prospect from McEachern High School (Powder Springs, Ga.) was on his way back home from Georgia when he got the word.

“I’ve been in contact with coach (Tony) Elliott and we always had good conversations with each other and he just told me they needed to do their research, and they did,” Anchrum said, during an interview with TheClemsonInsider.

“When they were doing it, they came to the school to see me. The o-line coach came to see me, coach Elliott was there a couple of times.”

Elliott, who serves as Anchrum’s primary recruiter to Clemson, was in contact on Monday. The Tigers offered him as an offensive tackle.

“I went to watch games when I was a kid,” Anchrum said. “I was going to up there for a visit with Julian (Rochester), but it ended up getting cancelled due to some weather issues, so we stopped.”

His first recruiting trip to Clemson could be later this summer.

“Probably July, maybe, for their cookout, sometime around that time,” Anchrum said.

The 6-foot-3, 257-pound rising senior was impressed with what he saw in Clemson during his previous visits.

“It was very electric. I’m not going to lie, it was a very exciting atmosphere and everything,” Anchrum said. “I thought it was, especially the fans, the way they’re all into the game. The tradition of Clemson really was attractive. I always loved to see their games.”

Anchrum will leave for a visit to Nebraska on Thursday.

Clemson, Georgia, Nebraska, Arizona State, Missouri, Syracuse and Wake Forest have offered.
