Clemson and South Carolina are set to do battle for 2017 offensive lineman [autotag]Eric Douglas[/autotag].

The rising junior from Mallard Creek High School picked up offers from the two rivals after camping at each school last weekend. South Carolina offered before he left campus on Saturday.

Clemson’s came through on Sunday, a few hours after his visit to Tigertown was concluded.

“I was at camp and coach (Danny) Pearman was talking to me, and coach (Robbie) Caldwell. They said they liked my skill-set and said that an offer could be coming in the near future, probably in a week or two,” Douglas said, during an interview with TheClemsonInsider.

“It came sooner than I thought.”

Douglas, who got the word via e-mail, enjoyed working with Caldwell during the final training session of the Dabo Swinney Football Camp.

“He’s a great coach,” Douglas said of Caldwell. “He taught me some more stuff about the pass-sets that I do, taught me some more stuff about pulling.

“It’s like they had their whole roster out there coaching us, so that was real cool to see, to have the actual players from Clemson out there teaching us.”

At South Carolina, Douglas learned from Shawn Elliott, the Gamecocks’ offensive line coach.

“Coach Elliott, he’s a crazy good coach. Technique stuff that he taught us, I’ve never seen before. It helped me a lot,” Douglas said. “It’s going to help me go back to Mallard Creek, just like coach Caldwell, I’m going to go back to Mallard Creek with the skill-set that they taught me.”

Neither school has mentioned a specific position, but Douglas said he can play anywhere on the line.

“When I went to the junior day, (Clemson) showed me stuff I’d never seen before. The people were friendly. The town, I actually went to some Clemson games, the stadium was electric, I hadn’t seen anything like it,” Douglas said.

“South Carolina, I haven’t been to a game, but from what I’ve seen on TV, it’s the same electricity as Clemson. The rivalry between them two is always good. I grew up watching them go at it, so I was like, ‘Man, I wish I could play for one of them two schools.'”

A decision will be reached within the next six months.

“Before this season is over with, I should be committed with the right school and with the right choice where I want to be,” Douglas said.
