Central (S.C.) Daniel legacy lineman Watson Young has announced his commitment to the Tigers.
Young (6-3, 280) flipped his pledge from Appalachian State, which collected his commitment over the summer.
He is the son of longtime Clemson senior associate athletics director Kyle Young, a two-time offensive line All-American for the Tigers (2000-01).
The desire to carve his own identity played a role in Watson pulling the trigger for the Mountaineers in June.
But Dabo Swinney reached out earlier this week to extend an offer, and the wheels moved swiftly for Clemson to score its second lineman for the cycle.
The Tigers have been sitting on one line commitment -- Franklin (Tenn.) Page four-star Ronan O'Connell -- since the summer.
Watson also held offers from Coastal Carolina, Liberty, James Madison, Georgia State, UAB and Furman.

He is one of five finalists for the state's Mr. Football award.
Young naturally attended the Swinney Camp for numerous summers until this past one.
He becomes the 18th commitment for Clemson's 2024 recruiting class.
