Clemson Lands 4-Star Lineman Luke Starcevic

The verbal pledge boosts Clemson's recruiting momentum by adding high-end tackle depth.

Overview

  • Luke Starcevic announced his verbal commitment to Clemson on Monday, June 1, choosing the Tigers over finalists that included Notre Dame, Kansas State, and Oklahoma.
  • Starcevic is a long‑limbed, 6‑foot‑5/6‑foot‑6, roughly 250–260 pound prospect who projects as a college and future pro tackle.
  • He becomes Clemson’s third offensive-line verbal in the 2027 cycle, joining four-star Carter Jones and Elijah Morrison and strengthening the program’s depth in the trenches.
  • Offensive line coach Matt Luke is credited as Starcevic’s primary recruiter with offensive coordinator Chad Morris as a secondary recruiter after Clemson extended an offer in early May and hosted him for an official visit weekend.
  • The addition helped push Clemson’s 2027 class higher in national lists—reported at No. 13 by On3/Rivals and No. 8 by 247Sports—while the school still must convert verbal pledges into signed letters on national signing day.
