Trent Howard, 6-4 285 out of Birmingham, Alabama, received the Class 5A Lineman of the Year award. Playing for Briarwood Christian High School in Birmingham, Howard helped lead his team to the playoffs and an 11-4 record. He was ranked as the 45th ranked player in the state of Alabama, and was previously committed to Georgia Tech.
Clemson's 2020 offensive line class is probably the best class Clemson has ever signed as a group. Howard, a 3-star, was a last minute addition to this class. He had originally committed to GT in June of 2019. Then, in early December, he decided to open up his commitment and then on the 18th, decided on Clemson.
