4-star DL Vic Burley makes things official, signs with Clemson

Warner Robins (Ga.) four-star defensive lineman Vic Burley has made his commitment to Clemson official. Burley is the No. 61 overall prospect in the 2023 On3 Consensus rankings.

The four-star defensive lineman committed to Clemson back on June 15. He is among a trio of four-star signees.

Burley felt a connection with defensive line coach Nick Eason. Eason was in attendance for Burley’s final high school game in Atlanta two weeks ago.

Clemson’s off-the-field culture was also a significant selling point for Burley.

“I paid attention to it a little bit, but I kind of fell in love with the player development,” Burley said back in June when he committed. “It’s not even the player development, it’s the personal development that they have at Clemson. They’re helping you develop for the outside world. That played a part in me choosing Clemson.”

Scouting summary: Power rusher that wins with violence and flashes pure strength against the run. Added around 30 pounds between his junior and senior off-seasons. Basketball player as well as a stand-out thrower in track and field. Threw 50 feet in the shot put and 156’04” in the discus as a sophomore. Dominant against the run by playing with tremendous leverage for being a taller defensive lineman. Has some balance issues and plays out of control at times, but has an undeniably high floor as an interior run stopper.
