Clements is a 3-star prospect as rated by 247Sports, and the No. 24 player in the state of South Carolina. Rivals ranks him as the No. 18 player in South Carolina, while ESPN pegs him at No. 16. He chose Virginia Tech over offers from Power 5 programs NC State, Louisville and Kansas State.
Clements was recruited by offensive line coach Vance Vice.

Thanks for choosing Tech. You will love it here. Welcome to the Hokie Nation!
Welcome to the Hokie Nation Parker! All of us will make you feel like Blacksburg is “home.”
Kind of reminds me of the “Blindside”, a mauler. Welcome to Virginia Tech.
Hes frikken mauling kids in that video lol. Welcome Parker!
Thought we had 10 commits for 2020 already, wouldn’t he make it 11?
You might have missed Noah Kim’s decommitment.
247 shows 11 commitments, but that’s because they’re including 2019 commitment Jahad Carter in their list. We do not include commitments from prior years in this year’s commits.
Good pick up. I like seeing depth being built on O line. Looks like a Chris Coleman special: always be redshirting!
That’s a big kid!
appears to me he has a bit of a mean streak once he comes out of his stance, and he doesn’t mind abusing his foe until whistles have finished blowing.
Go Hokies!
Great to welcome him to the Hokie Family….Congrats Parker!!!
DANG! That kid brings the ONIONS! — Welcome Home
How does a guy like this not get an offer from USCe or Clemson? Elgin is in the next county east of
Columbia SC.
Beat me to it. Seems odd USC didn’t offer
Per 247, the Gamecocks already have 12 OTs on their roster, plus 2 more OTs committed for the 2020 class. That’s a very high number, probably explains why they didn’t offer him. By comparison, Tech has 8 OTs on the roster, and Clements is the only OT commit in the Hokies’ 2020 class.
Clemson probably only accepts 4 and 5 stars on the line. But, South Carolina is baffling.
Welcome home Parker!
