Tigers ‘hit a home run’ with D-end signees

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney believes the Tigers hit it out of the park when they signed Cade Denhoff and Zaire Patterson as part of their 2021 class.

Swinney sees a bright future ahead for the pair of talented defensive ends and thinks both of them have a very high ceiling.

“I think he and Cade are both in that category,” Swinney said when asked if Patterson and Denhoff are two of the bigger-upside players he has signed.

Denhoff and Patterson are unanimous four-star prospects according to the major recruiting services, and both are top-100 national players per 247Sports.
