CLEMSON – The Clemson coaching staff continues to wait for Zaire Patterson to put it all together, but Cade Denhoff is quickly taking advantage of his opportunity to play.
Both Denhoff and Patterson were a part of the 2021 recruiting class, and both entered Clemson with lofty credentials. Denhoff was ranked as the No. 89 overall player by 247Sports, and was also listed as the eighth-best defensive end in the nation and 13th-best player in Florida. Patterson was listed by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 97 overall player, the sixth-best defensive end and the sixth-best player from North Carolina.
