Steinour is a 6-10, 215-pound forward/center who ranks as a three-star, according to 247Sports. Steinour is the grandson of former Clemson big man Randy Mahaffey who played for the Tigers from 1964-67.

While at Lake Norman, Steinour was a 3× Conference Player of the Year, 3× All-County / 2× County Player of the Year, 3× All-District / 2× All-District First Team, 2× All-State / 1× All-State First Team, 2× All-Observer / 2× All-Observer Defensive Team, 2025 Carolinas Classic All-Star Game Selection (NC vs. SC) and 2025 NC East/West All-Star Game Invitee.

Steinour concluded his prep career with 1,312 points, 968 rebounds, and 376 blocks, making him Lake Norman’s all-time leader in both rebounds and blocked shots. As a senior, he averaged 18.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 4.0 blocks per game, leading Lake Norman to multiple deep playoff runs, including an Elite Eight appearance in the NCHSAA state tournament. As a junior, Steinour averaged 16.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game and helped lead Lake Norman to the Elite Eight of the NCHSAA state tournament.

Steinour chose Clemson over Georgia, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and South Carolina.

Head Coach Brad Brownell:
“Trent Steinour is the latest addition to Clemson from the legendary Mahaffey family. He’s long, athletic and runs the floor extremely well. A tireless worker, Trent has worked hard to develop his perimeter game throughout high school, and we think he will fit very well into our hi/low motion offense.”
