In-State WR Says Dabo Swinney’s Passion Stands Out
Amare Patterson’s visit to Clemson on Saturday hit the mark.
While his previous times on campus have been memorable, the three-star in-state wideout (Bluffton) learned a whole lot more about Dabo Swinney’s program during the game-day visit.
“The passion the coach has for his program,” Patterson told The Clemson Insider. “The standard they have for their student-athletes.”
On top of the culture standing out, the electric atmosphere inside Death Valley for a Top 10 matchup in primetime also resonated.
“The fan base,” Patterson added. “Plus, the number of former players on staff.”
