Inside Will Putnam's recruitment: Clemson was a "slam dunk" and hard to turn down

Four-star offensive lineman Will Putnam had three good schools to choose from, but when it came time to make his college decision he went with the slam dunk.

Putnam, the 2019 prospect out of Tampa (FL) Plant, narrowed his final three school choices to Florida St., Auburn, and Clemson. Putnam was rumored to lean in different directions over the last month, but when he made his announcement Thursday at his high school, Clemson came out on top.

It was not an easy process.

“It was difficult. It was very difficult. I actually did spend a lot of time in their household with the family and spent a lot of time with Will back in school and it was very difficult,” Plant head coach Robert Weiner told TigerNet.
