Clemson Secures Commitment from Top Offensive Tackle Rowan Byrne!
Clemson has landed a significant recruit, towering offensive tackle Rowan Byrne, who chose the Tigers over Florida State, Penn State, and others.
Byrne’s Profile
Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 297 pounds, Byrne is an impressive prospect entering his senior year at Iona Preparatory School. His size and skills have earned him a spot among the top 40 offensive tackle recruits in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He is also recognized as one of the top prospects from New York, a state known for producing elite college football talent.
Clemson’s Recruitment Win
Byrne announced his commitment to Clemson after an official visit to the campus. Interestingly, he visited Clemson without initially having an offer. During his visit, he spoke with head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive line coach Matt Luke, who extended a verbal offer. Just days later, Byrne decided to commit to Clemson, foregoing the rest of his scheduled official visits.
