Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is zeroing in on his next offensive line coach.  Swinney is making a hard push to land his top candidate.

The Clemson Insider has confirmed that former Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke was on campus Friday in Clemson interviewing for the position.  Luke toured the facilities and got a feel for Clemson.

We have heard from multiple sources that this could be finalized quickly.

Luke most recently served as Georgia’s offensive line coach and associate head coach across the 2020-21 seasons and won a national title with the Bulldogs in the second of those campaigns.

Prior to joining the UGA staff, Luke served the previous three years as head coach at Ole Miss.

The 47-year-old has compiled a long history of coaching the offensive line at UGA, Ole Miss, Duke, Tennessee and Murray State in addition to serving as co-offensive coordinator at both Duke and Ole Miss.

Luke also made waves in the world of recruiting while in Oxford. His first two recruiting classes as a head coach ranked in the top 25 nationally. As the offensive line coach with the Rebels, Luke was ranked eighth amongst recruiters in 2016 by 247Sports.

A former player, Luke lettered four seasons (1995-98) as a center at Ole Miss. He started in 33 career games for the Rebels and served as team captain in 1998.
