Clemson’s local walk-on OL with real grit, limited tape
Mason Johnstone is a Clemson offensive lineman who entered the 2025 season with 10 career offensive snaps across three game appearances, and his path matters as much as his film: he joined the Tigers as a walk-on in summer 2022, earned two ACC Honor Roll selections, and fought through a 2024 injury that cost him most of the year. In the 2024 season, he played four snaps in two games; in 2023, he logged six snaps in his college debut. If you like developmental linemen with toughness, buy-in, and local roots, he’s a classic low-flash, high-commitment depth piece.[1][15]
