Just a few days after decommitting from Clemson, 2023 offensive lineman Zechariah Owens has recommitted to the Tigers.

Owens announced his decision on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.

ClemsonSports reported Tuesday morning that Owens was likely to rejoin Clemson’s class.

“After a long time of thinking, praying and reconsidering, my family and I have decided that I will stay and continue to be committed to Clemson University,” Owens posted on Twitter. “I want to thank the Clemson coaching staff and my fellow teammates for sticking beside me through this. … I’m 1,000% All In.”
