Just one in-state commit for Clemson this cycle -- 3-star Daniel OL Watson Young. Dabo Swinney says he's not sure if that's his fewest at Clemson but "we missed on some guys ... Sometimes in this state kids just grow up pulling for the other team"
Dabo Swinney says no plans of Clemson pursuing another DE in the portal, though they did consider that option (as staff does at every position). Says they like their guys there -- and flexibility of someone like Peter Woods, who can play DE or DT. "That's where we are today"
Dabo Swinney says he's confident Clemson football's already got plenty of team speed/big-play ability. But knows WR recruits Bryant Wesco Jr. and TJ Moore will add even more. Says Wesco needs to add some weight but both guys "play strong" and are great after the catch
Dabo Swinney says he feels like Clemson "knocked it out of the park" with OLs Elyjah Thurmon and Mason Wade, late additions to the 2024 class. Says both of them are "dirtbags" (a compliment!) with a lot of positional versatility a la Jordan McFadden
Dabo Swinney thanking the "huge operation" that goes into Clemson football recruiting. "I just do my part ... I just do the press conference." Says everyone from assistant coaches to recruiting dept to student assistants was excellent this cycle
