Another talented prospect is headed to Tiger Town.

No. 1-rated 2021 center Ryan Linthicum committed to Clemson over finalists Ohio State, Michigan, and Virginia Tech on Monday afternoon.

Linthicum visited on Saturday alongside his fellow teammate and Clemson 5-star commit Bryan Bresee for Clemson's 52-10 win over Charlotte.

The 4-star lineman talked about the visit to Clemson with TigerNet.

“I just loved it there and can't wait to get back. I loved talking to all of the commits there. It was just crazy. They are all awesome guys. I was hanging out with Mitchell (Mayes), and he is such a good guy, really down to earth. We can talk about other things than just football. I talked to him and Sergio (Allen) a little bit, and it was awesome. It's also awesome that I get to share this with my high school teammate."

Linthicum is rated the No. 1 center in the country by both Rivals and 247Sports and had Clemson in his top-3 schools in August, along with Michigan and Virginia Tech.

Clemson now has four ESPN Jr. 300 members committed with Linthicum, linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, running back Phil Mafah, and wide receiver Dacari Collins.
