Noah DeHond to Clemson: Tigers Land 4-Star OT Prospect

The Clemson Tigers added their second commitment to their 2017 recruiting class Monday with the addition of 4-star offensive tackle Noah DeHond.

DeHond announced on Twitter he'll soon call "Death Valley" home:

According to 247Sports' composite rankings, the Hightstown, New Jersey, native is the No. 32 offensive tackle and No. 236 player overall in 2017. He's also the sixth-best player in the state of New Jersey.

DeHond's decision comes as a bit of a surprise because 75 percent of the experts on 247Sports' crystal ball predictions expected him to pick the Alabama Crimson Tide. Barton Simmons of 247Sports couldn't say enough about the Tigers' good luck Monday night:

DeHond—listed at 6'7" and 317 pounds—is simply a massive presence on the offensive line. In addition, he shouldn't need to fill out his frame too much, which is a problem you sometimes see with taller offensive linemen in college. They might weigh 290-plus pounds, but that's not necessarily a good thing when you're talking about a player who's 6'6" or 6'7".

DeHond has the requisite strength to excel at the next level.

As long as he can become a bit more agile, he has the potential to be a cornerstone of the Clemson offensive line in a few years.
