Briningstool touts the offense, says tight end room has the chance to be elite

CLEMSON – Jake Briningstool says Clemson’s tight end room is elite, and he’s also looking for improvement from the rest of the offense.

Briningstool enters 2024 with high expectations. During his career, he has caught 78 passes for 850 yards and ten touchdowns in 1,269 offensive snaps over 35 career games (13 starts). However, it was last season when he made his biggest jump—his 50 receptions in his junior season in 2023 tied the Clemson single-season school record for a tight end.

He became the seventh tight end in Clemson history to record 10 career touchdown receptions, joining Jordan Leggett, John McMakin, Dwayne Allen, Brandon Ford, Davis Allen and Bennie Cunningham, and his 126 receiving yards in a record-setting night at Miami in 2023 were the most by a Clemson tight end in a single game in school history.
