Fort Mill High kicker Noah Hardy has committed to Clemson

Fort Mill High kicker Noah Hardy is headed to Clemson. He announced his commitment on X on Oct. 31, the morning after a 51-yard field goal in a 44-10 win at Boiling Springs. Clemson Tigers On SI calls him a 4-star kicker in the 2027 class who chose the Tigers over Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia State, Charlotte and others.

The Wrap

The wave broke out at 4:32 a.m. in Rock Hill, where a student in a green sequin blazer and another in an old-timey cap and nightgown joined in. Grambling State and Northern Illinois tipped off at 3:05 a.m. Monday, and Grambling won 89-87 before sunrise. Sleep is overrated.
