Clemson lands 2026 four-star offensive lineman

The Clemson football program added a significant commitment today as Adam Guthrie‍, a four-star offensive lineman, announced his intention to join the Tigers' football program. Hailing from Washington Court House, Ohio, Guthrie (6'7, 285) brings an exceptional skill set to the offensive line. 

Offensive line coach Matt Luke and the entire coaching staff at Clemson recognize Guthrie's immense potential and have eagerly welcomed him into the Tiger family. Guthrie has been building a strong relationship with the Clemson staff, with Coach Luke visiting him on multiple occasions during the contact period.

Guthrie is in town for Clemson's Elite Retreat, further solidifying his connection with the program.

With Clemson's legacy of success and commitment to developing well-rounded athletes, it is the perfect fit for Guthrie's aspirations.

Clemson beat out several top programs for Guthrie’s services, including Ohio State and Penn State, both of which were scheduled to receive official visits from Guthrie in June.

On3 rates Guthrie as a 90.37 talent and the 19th-best offensive tackle prospect in the class.

As a dual-sport athlete, Guthrie's basketball experience has enhanced his agility and footwork, traits that translate well to the football field. His commitment adds significant strength to Clemson's offensive line prospects for the future.

In our interview with him in January, Guthrie emphasized the importance of a "culture fit" in his decision-making process. He appreciated Clemson's emphasis on family and the personal connections he built with the coaching staff, particularly Coach Luke and Coach Swinney. Guthrie's parents also played a significant role in his recruitment, with Coach Luke visiting their home and attending Guthrie's basketball game, further solidifying the personal connection.
