Recruiting Wrap: Clemson has the tallest defensive end in the nation (and maybe two)

Clemson might one day have the tallest set of defensive bookends in the country on the field at the same time.

The Fort Hill Clemson Club Recruiting Wrap was held Wednesday evening in the Poe Indoor Facility, and in addition to head coach Dabo Swinney, all of the assistant coaches spoke about the members of their respective 2024 position classes. When it was time for the players themselves to speak, it was defensive end Adam Kissayi who stood up and then just kept standing up as the crowd gave him an ovation.

Kissayi mentioned that he has continued to grow, and he now stands at 6-8 1/2 and calls himself the tallest defensive end in college football.
