Kam Pringle, nation's No. 1 offensive tackle, trims list to 6, includes in-state Clemson, South Carolina

Woodland (South Carolina) offensive tackle Kam Pringle is down to six schools. He holds more than 20 scholarship offers.

While February's traditional signing period has not yet arrived for the class of 2023, most of those prospects signed in December.

College football coaching staffs have shifted their focus accordingly, turning the page to 2024 athletes.

In turn, those 2024 prospects are beginning to announce college commitments and trim their lists.

On Thursday, Woodland (South Carolina) star Kam Pringle, the nation's No. 1 offensive tackle, cut his 20 scholarship offers to six finalists - Clemson, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina. State, South Carolina and Tennessee:

The mammoth 6-foot-7, 330-pound lineman is rated the nation's No. 46 overall prospect and No. 1 offensive tackle in the 247Sports composite rankings. 

So far, 11 of the nation's top 46 prospects in the class of 2024 have announced their commitments, but only two of the nation's top 25 are off the board - Florida five-star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith (Ohio State; No. 2 overall) and California five-star quarterback Julian Sayin (Alabama; No. 15 overall). 

Any major cut regarding top-flight 2024 talent is big news, so Pringle's list of six is certainly noteworthy.
