Columbia QB lands at 'dream school' with Clemson

Like many children who grew up in South Carolina, Hunter Helms has dreamed of one day suiting up for Clemson since he was in diapers and Wednesday he became one step closer to realizing that dream.

The Columbia (SC) Gray Academy quarterback accepted a preferred walk-on offer from the Tigers and signed his National Letter of Intent during a ceremony at his school Wednesday morning.

Helms – the 6-2, 205-pound 3-star prospect – told TigerNet he knew Clemson was the place for him long before his official visit last month.

“To be quite honest, every visit that I've taken in the last two or three years, I've always said this is the way,” Helms told TigerNet.
