Physical, smart Clemson interior OL with real upside
Blanchard redshirted in 2025 after appearing in just 13 snaps, so he’s still an early-stage Clemson lineman rather than a proven college starter[1]. But the fit is intriguing: Clemson’s staff has called him smart, tough, strong-handed, and a leverage-heavy blocker who can work at center or guard, which suggests versatility and coachability[9]. He arrived as a four-star recruit and one of the nation’s top interior OL prospects, so the upside is real if you want a developmental trench player with SEC/ACC-level body type and attitude[1][15].
