Tampa, FL
Will Putnam has picked the Clemson Tigers as his desired destination for the next 4 years. The Tampa Plant High School Standout offensive lineman picked the Tigers over the Seminoles of FSU and Auburn.
The big man has been back and forth over the last 2 weeks as he has weighed his decision with a lot of thought and input. Will postponed his original commitment date (Late last week) After going back and forth over the past week between the Seminoles and Tigers. It looks like Dabo Swinney and his ACC Champion Tigers have won the signature of the highly thought of mauler.
Stay tuned as we reach out to Will and get his thoughts on the Commitment and what made him decide to be a Clemson Tiger.
