Football recruiting is again the lead story for the Clemson Tigers this morning. Unfortunately, it isn’t the best news. Offensive lineman William Satterwhite committed to the Tennessee Volunteers on Friday afternoon.
Satterwhite is a 4-star inside offensive line prospect from Akron, Ohio. He is ranked 191st overall in the 247Sports Composite. He is getting ready to start his senior season at Archbishop Hoban High School.
At 6′-3″ and 300 lbs, Satterwhite would have been a strong addition to Clemson’s 2024 class. The Tigers and offensive line coach Thomas Austin might not have to wait much longer to get their next commitment though. Prospect Fletcher Westphal announces his decision on Monday. The Tigers are competing with Arkansas and Florida for his commitment.
Clemson’s hardest working future player, 2024 commitment David Eziomume, has been hard at work trying to convince some important prospects to choose the Tiger hat when their announcements are made.

There are now three 247 Crystal Balls for Westphal pointed towards Clemson.

Between Thomas and incoming prospect Sammy Brown, there are going to be some fun weight lifting contests in 2024.
