Five-star Fairfield, Ohio offensive tackle Jackson Carman surprised the recruiting world with a pledge to Clemson over home-state Ohio State and Southern Cal Wednesday.

Carman was in TigerTown recently for an official visit, but most recruiting experts had him going to the Buckeyes going into the day.

His Wednesday morning announcement only reinforced Clemson's out-of-state recruiting prowess, which was recognized in the reaction on social media:

Clemson pulls off the shocker and grabs a commitment from 5-star OT Jackson Carman. Most thought he was Buckeye bound. Major recruiting win as the Tigers continue to recruit nationally.

This is big news 4 @ClemsonFB the best out of state recruiters in CFB. Five-star OT Jackson Carman (No. 12 in ESPN 300; Fairfield, Ohio) signs with Clemson. Carman also had offers from Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State and USC among others.

With it looking like Jackson Carman will sign with Clemson and not OSU, Meyer was asked about the disappointment if that happens. "I can't comment. I'll leave it at that."

Jackson Carman to #Clemson shows why Dabo is in the Saban/Meyer range or head coach recruiters. #ALLIN
