No. 1 center on Clemson offer: ‘This might be the one’

Damascus (Md.) offensive lineman Ryan Linthicum, the top-ranked center in the 2021 class, received a huge new scholarship offer from Clemson on Thursday after working out at the Dabo Swinney Camp last week.

“I was so excited,” Linthicum told The Clemson Insider. “I think this might be the one.”

Linthicum (6-4, 275) learned of the offer through offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell.

“I called Coach Caldwell and he told me he knew they wanted to (offer), just had to make sure everyone was on board,” Linthicum said.

Linthicum is teammates at Damascus High School with five-star Clemson commitment Bryan Bresee, who is happy that his close friend now has an opportunity to player for the Tigers.
