Where Clemson ranks in Athlon Sports Top 20 Offensive Lines for 2023
Many factors go into building a strong offense in college football and the NFL, and one of the most essential pieces of a successful offense is the offensive line.
Your offense will likely suffer if you aren’t winning the battle up front. Heading into the 2023 season, Clemson starting quarterback Cade Klubnik will be playing behind one of the best offensive line units in the country.
Led by center Will Putnam, Clemson’s offensive line is better than many expect. According to Athlon Sports’ top 20 offensive lines for 2023, the Tigers unit is the No.15 best in the country.
Sophomore Blake Miller was one of the best freshmen in the country in 2022 and should further improve as he moves back to his natural position of right tackle. Walker Parks and Marcus Tate make up a strong duo at guard, with the real questions on this offensive line coming at left tackle.
There is talent at the position but questions on who will end up the starter. It sounds like redshirt sophomore Tristan Leigh has the edge right now, but redshirt freshman Collin Sadler has created competition.
This offensive line needs a big year for the Tigers to make a run at the College Football Playoff.
