Massive ’21 OL talks elite junior day visit, recruitment

Among the select number of candidates for one of Clemson’s remaining offensive line spots in the 2021 class is Cordova (Tenn.) Evangelical Christian School tackle Dietrick Pennington.

Pennington was one of two O-linemen the Tigers hosted for their elite junior day last Saturday, along with Fairfax (Va.) Robinson tackle Tristan Leigh.

“It was great,” Pennington said of the visit. “I came with my grandmother, two of my close friends, Jake and John Vargo, and their mother, Christy Vargo.”

The huge 6-foot-5, 330-pound Pennington picked up an offer from Clemson after competing at the Dabo Swinney Camp last summer, then returned to campus for the Texas A&M game in the fall.
