FSU, Clements make big impression on trio of OL visitors

Despite being committed to South Carolina since last May, Miami Norland offensive tackle Issiah Walker has never hid the fact that Florida State is his dream school. And the four-star lineman's commitment to the Gamecocks would have to be considered soft, considering he spent nearly three days in Tallahassee and has more visits on the horizon.

Walker visited FSU for two full days on Friday and Saturday before heading back home Sunday morning.

"FSU stands very high with me, definitely," Walker said. "This visit was really special in getting to know the coaches. That was one of the big reasons for the visit. Now, I feel very comfortable with all the coaches. Coach [Willie] Taggart is a great guy, really good coach. We talked so much in the last two days, and some things not even football."

Perhaps the biggest reason for the visit was to spend time with new FSU offensive line coach Randy Clements, and Clements clearly made a strong impression.

"He's a really good coach," Walker said. "His message was to work hard, and they want me. He's a guy that I could see myself play for, and he could develop me very well."

Walker isn't close to making a final decision just yet. He still wants visit Ohio State and LSU, along with an official visit to South Carolina in May.

Walker also said he'll be back at Florida State pretty soon.

"Yes sir, definitely going to visit again," he said. "Have to visit. It will probably be in the summer because I want to work with Coach Clements [in camp]."
