The Clemson Tigers are making a solid impression on another top offensive line recruit

The Clemson Tigers have been very busy this season after a nice 2024 campaign.

Entering 2024, the Tigers had certainly bounced back on their minds. It was a down season by the program’s standards in 2023, but Clemson looked much better last year.

The Tigers were able to win 10 games and an ACC title en route to making the college football playoff. Although they were eliminated in the first round, it was still an excellent campaign for the program.

As the team prepares for next season, expectations will be high. With the return of Cade Klubnik for his senior season, the Tigers will be one of the best teams in the country entering 2025 with a Heisman hopeful under center.

In addition to Klubnik returning, he will have one of the best wide receiver corps in the nation with Antonio Williams also returning.

On the offensive line, Clemson returns four starters up front, keeping the continuity of the unit intact.

Overall, the offense for the Tigers has the opportunity to be special in 2025. However, that doesn’t mean the coaching staff is just sitting around. Clemson is actively on the recruiting trail trying to make the class of 2026 a special one.

After a bit of a year for the 2025 recruiting class, Swinney and the coaching staff are focused on improving next year’s class.

Recently, one of the top offensive linemen in 2026 met with Tigers offensive line coach Matt Luke down in Texas for lunch. The meeting went quite well and Zaden Krempin seems to be quite impressed with the program.

“He just explained his family and where he’s been,” Krempin added to Clemson Insider. “Just where Clemson is different. And to be honest, I liked it. I like how the head coach – how they do everything different over there. It was good. A good little bit of time to get to know him. “

Krempin is one of the top offensive linemen in the 2026 class, ranking 15th among all tackle prospects and 16th in Texas overall.

A lot of credit goes to Coach Luke who has worked hard and done an excellent job recruiting. He seems to be extremely respected by the players he visits, and the Tigers are trying to build a dominant offensive line based on how many visits he has taken.

While Krempin does not yet have an offer from Clemson, he will come March 8 for their Elite Retreat. With many offers from other schools already on the table, you can expect one to come shortly after he visits the school.
