Elite offensive lineman Harris Sewell officially a Clemson Tiger

One of the top interior offensive line recruits in the country has signed with Clemson as Harris Sewell officially joined the Tigers family on Wednesday.

The Texas native signed with Clemson after committing to the Tigers in June. He chose Clemson over offers from Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and others.

He is rated as the No. 5 interior offensive lineman in the country and the No. 110 overall player in the nation, according to the On3 Consensus rankings.

Harris Sewell was recruited to Clemson by offensive line coach Thomas Austin.

“The culture at Clemson is unreal,” Sewell previously told On3. “I feel like I won’t only be developed on the field but also off the field tremendously and can grow in my faith at Clemson. I had a gut feeling Clemson was the place for me. And most importantly, I feel that God called me to be a Clemson Tiger.”

Sewell added that his relationship with Austin and the rest of Clemson’s coaching staff played a big role in him choosing the Tigers.

“I would say I’m closest with Coach Austin, the o-line coach,” Sewell said. “I’m also pretty close with Coach Swinney. Also [Brandon Thomas], who is the assistant o-line coach. We are all close. Me and Coach Austin have a great relationship, though. We talk on the phone very often and have really just a good relationship, which I think is important when playing for a coach.”
