In some ways, maybe Ryan Wideman was always destined to finish his career at Clemson.
With his father Tom starring for the Tigers’ basketball team back in the 1990s, Wideman grew up an avid fan. HIs family ties to Clemson run deep, and when he was younger he spent a lot of time on campus, attending baskteball games and football games.
Now, everything has come full circle, as Wideman, who just earned All-American honors after a stellar season at Western Kentucky, announced a commitment to Erik Bakich and the Clemson baseball program on Wednesday.
“When I was younger, I would come up, probably two or three times a year,” Wideman told The Clemson Insider.
