West Torrance lineman Mark Clampitt has made an oral commitment to Idaho State after a recruiting visit this past weekend, the two-time Daily Breeze All-Area lineman said Monday.
Clampitt, pictured on the far right with former West quarterback Marc Oslund (No. 12) and running back Brian Baucham in 2006, was a major part of West's success the past three years.
Clampitt took his first official recruiting trip to Idaho State and instantly fell in love with the school and the program. He will likely be an offensive guard for the Bengals with a chance to play immediately.
"It was a pretty good fit," the 6-foot-2, 260-pound Clampitt said. "I like the facilities and where it was - it was a nice area. It was somewhere I really felt I could fit in."
Clampitt elected to skip the West Torrance Lions Club Senior All-Star Game on Saturday, but made it worth his while.
"It definitely worked out," he said.
What a great kid this is. Nice person and hard worker and he deserves this free ride because he earned every nickle of it and the school is a good D-1 subdivision school and program and its right were Mark belongs and he should play quickly and have a great college career. Its also a very fun school up there and a great college town. Good choice Mark and you did an honorable job on and off the field and way to put in 4 great years!
Mark
it's Coach
You worked hard for this, very proud of you.
Good Job Mark
What a steal for Idaho State. A PAC 10 talent lands in the Big Sky. They just got one of the top lineman with probably the highest ceiling that the South Bay has seen for a while. Sky's thelimit for this kid.
