Signee analysis: Collin Sadler - 4-star OT - Inman, SC

Committed since: 11/2/20.

Listed size: 6-5 285.

Early enrollee

Notable: Sadler was the second commitment on the board in Clemson’s 2022 class, announcing his pledge a few days after fellow O-line commit Blake Miller. He is ranked the No. 5 prospect out of South Carolina in the 247Sports Composite, as one of four top-5 S.C. prospects committed in this class.

Quotable: “I think one of his greatest strengths, to me, is his speed (and) his flexibility. He’s strong…He don’t look like he weighs 300 pounds…That’s the intriguing thing, to see someone that size that can run that fast and be that strong…In 2019 I had him captain a few games and I think he was a sophomore. But nobody was really questioning it because his work ethic on and off the field is an example, it’s a standard that I try to share with all of our guys. " - Greenville High School coach Greg Porter (source)

Depth chart fit: Both starters return in rising redshirt senior Jordan McFadden and rising junior Walker Parks, but beyond that tier, there is room for competition when it comes to depth spots. Playing early as a freshman has been hit-or-miss at tackle with Parks playing just under 200 snaps as a freshman in 2020 and 5-star prospect Tristan Leigh totaling 20 snaps going into postseason action.
