Belk aims to follow in footsteps of Lawrence

After committing to Clemson in January, Richburg (S.C.) Lewisville four-star defensive tackle Josh Belk is one step closer to fulfilling a dream.

“It’s a blessing,” Belk told The Clemson Insider at the EPT Showcase in Columbia on Sunday. “I’m the first one out of my family to actually go to college, and it’s a dream I’ve always had to play college ball, so I’ve just got to work and when I get there I’ve got to work even harder.”

Belk, one of the top prospects in the state of South Carolina, chose Clemson over offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Ohio State and South Carolina among others because he feels the program’s culture will best foster his development as a player.
