Pinckney attends Cookout, returns Wednesday

Four-star defensive tackle Nyles Pinckney was in Clemson with his mom and dad last Friday night for the fourth-annual All-In Cookout.

The family was back in town on Wednesday for another in-depth look at Clemson.

“It was good just being up there with coach (Dabo) Swinney, coach (Tony) Elliott and coach (Dan) Brooks, spending some time, not just talking about football, but talking about my family, taking a break from football,” Pinckney told TheClemsonInsider, when asked about the Cookout.

That trip had almost no conversation about football.

“They were talking to me about my summer’s been, how everything is with me and my family, how are things going and everything like that.
