By: Staff Report January 10, 2023

Clemson made the cut Tuesday for a top prospect from the Palmetto State.

Dillon (S.C.) High School four-star offensive lineman Josiah Thompson announced a top six featuring Clemson along with Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Miami and Alabama.

The 6-foot-6, 280-pound junior, who holds close to two dozen total offers, recently explained to The Clemson Insider why the Tigers are among his favorites.

“Clemson will always be there because I can represent South Carolina either at Clemson and South Carolina,” he said. “Two of the best conferences in the land.”

“Clemson (would) be most definitely a school I (would) love to continue my career at,” he added.

Thompson – the country’s No. 5 offensive tackle and No. 58 overall prospect in the 2024 class per the 247Sports Composite rankings – has made multiple trips to Tiger Town.

“What stood out about Clemson is the campus,” he said of the visits, “and it being a close family.”
