Our Take:
Luke Winstel
Harris Sewell is built like a truck and is a nasty offensive lineman. The four-star projects as a right guard at Clemson. Sewell plays with an edge, and when he pulls from that guard spot.. he's an absolute menace.
Sewell led Permian to a 9-2 record this fall and was part of an offense that averaged 33 points per game. He chose Clemson over Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M. Sewell is a multi-sport athlete and also has first-place finishes in the shot put and discus.
Morgan Thomas - Looks like what the Hulk would look like running. Plays center and guard. Regularly goes out on screens and pulls. Lead man in the run game. Wants to put you on the ground with force. Strong upper body.
