Fast-rising prospect, originally from Germany, excited about Clemson offer

One of the nation’s fastest-rising recruits in the 2022 class is climbing the recruiting rankings and picking up multiple Power 5 offers along the way. Clemson extended an offer to the up-and-coming prospect in March, and the Tigers are hoping to pull in another force on the defensive line.

Hero Kanu made his debut in the Top247 rankings on Wednesday, coming in as the No. 99 prospect overall and the No. 8 defensive tackle in the ’22 class. Originally from Germany, where he grew up playing soccer, the 4-star defensive tackle came to the US in September and is now attending Santa Margarita Catholic (CA).
