Clemson Football: Offensive line, unofficial visitor and realignment
Clemson football is inching closer to it’s season opener in Atlanta on September 5 against Georgia Tech and it appears true freshman Blake Miller is inching closer to earning a starting job on the offensive line.
The 6’6, 315 pounder was a four star recruit, number 208 overall and 16th best tackle in the 2022 class according to 247sports.com.
Miller’s been taking some first team reps at right tackle, with Walker Parks moving to right guard.
In the seemingly never ending search for the “best five”, the Tigers may have found a freshman gem in the youngster from Strongsville, Ohio.
There’s still a week or so to go until the final personnel decisions are likely to be made, but Miller has made a positive impression so far.
As we mentioned last week, the Tigers are still looking for a defensive end for the 2023 cycle and to that end Penn State decommitment Tomarrion Parker will be visiting Clemson unofficially for the Furman game on September 10.
It looks like it’ll be a while before a decision is made because Parker has scheduled an official to Florida for the LSU game in mid-October.
Parker is ranked as the No. 100 player in the 247sports.com composite and 12th ranked defensive lineman.
Brett McMurphy says the Big 10 may become the Big 20 sometime in the future.
Big Ten’s Kevin Warren tells @RealSportsHBO he sees Big Ten having 20 members & paying players. “Those (paying players) are things we have to resolve. We have to. So I want to be part of this conversation & will be part of this conversation of what we can do to make this better”

Who knows whether this is real or posturing, but stranger things have happened recently.
The dynamic between the Big 10 and SEC and now that impacts the current ACC members could be fascinating in the future.
As someone who lives in Texas and watched what happened when Texas A&M joined the SEC, I find it difficult to believe the SEC would be happy if the Big 10 expanded into the south, say Florida.
When A&M made the move it destroyed Texas’ dominance in recruiting in the state and changed the dynamic with half the state watching the SEC every Saturday.
I can’t imagine the SEC powers that be want half of Florida and perhaps other southern states watching the Big 10.
