(This story was updated to add new information.)
CLEMSON — Clemson football added its fourth offensive lineman in the 2025 class with the commitment of three-star recruit Gavin Blanchard on Friday.
The 6-foot-3, 290-pounder from Wiregrass Ranch High School in Zephyrhills, Florida, is rated as the No. 61 interior offensive lineman nationally by the 247Sports Composite. He decommitted from UCF to commit to the Tigers.
Blanchard announced his Clemson commitment via Instagram. His commitment comes after four-star quarterback Blake Hebert flipped to Notre Dame, four-star defensive lineman Isaiah Campbell decommitted from the Tigers and four-star edge rusher Bryce Davis flipped his commitment to Duke.
Blanchard joins three other offensive lineman who committed to the Tigers: four-star Brayden Jacobs and three-stars Easton Ware and Rowan Byrne.
Blanchard was the 14th player to commit to coach Dabo Swinney's 2025 class, which ranked No. 17 nationally, until his high school teammate, four-star cornerback Graceson Littleton, decommited from Clemson hours later. The Tigers' 2025 class has eight four-star recruits and five three-stars and ranks 22nd in the nation.
