New offensive line coach Matt Luke is already paying dividends for Clemson in recruiting, and one of the O-linemen he helped the Tigers land this past weekend is Jaylan Beckley.
Luke, head coach Dabo Swinney and company were fired up when the four-star class of 2025 prospect from Trinity Christian Academy (Addison, Texas) gave Clemson his verbal pledge while on campus for Saturday’s elite junior day.
“The entire staff was extremely excited when I announced my commitment,” Beckley told The Clemson Insider. “It was a really special moment!”
The 6-foot-5, 305-pound junior chose the Tigers over a ton of other offers, including schools such as Baylor, LSU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, SMU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee to name some.
This past weekend marked Beckley’s second time at Clemson after he camped there last June, when he picked up an offer from Swinney’s program.
It’s hard for Beckley to put into words, but when he was back in Tiger Town over the weekend, he became sure that it’s where he wanted to call home for college.
