Freeling is a major offensive line target for the Tigers. Clemson has been doing well on the recruiting trail as of late, as they picked up 3 commitments in the class of 2023 in April.

However, Clemson has struggled to generate momentum on the offensive side of the ball in that class. The Tigers have just 1 commitment so far from an offensive player — 4-star receiver Nathaniel Joseph, who is reportedly being courted by Miami.

There is no timetable for Monroe’s decision. Players in the class of 2023 will be able to sign with a program during the Early Signing Period in December.
