Fort Mill High School senior kicker Noah Hardy has committed to Clemson. He announced it on X on Oct. 31, the morning after he made a 51-yard field goal in a road win at Boiling Springs. The full scholarship offer came days earlier, after a talk with head coach Dabo Swinney. Hardy chose the Tigers over Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia State, Charlotte and several other programs. "Clemson has always been a dream school of mine," he said.

As a junior, Hardy hit 13 field goals and earned a spot on the South Carolina roster for the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. He's the second specialist in a Clemson class that ranks in the Top 15 nationally, per 247Sports. Hardy says his focus is finishing his senior year strong, and Fort Mill opens the playoffs against Lexington on Nov. 6.

  • Rating: four-star prospect
  • Visits: Clemson twice in September
  • Junior year: 41 touchbacks

Happy Halloween everyone 🎃!

“18 years ago today, our pup, Leah was born! We have had her since she was just a few weeks old. She was born on Halloween so her middle name is Boo (we call her “BooBoo” mostly!) 👻 She has been though a lot but is still going strong. Some days she trots around, some days she’s a bit slower. Some days she enjoys her…”
