Two Tigers top list of ACC's best DTs entering 2021

Two Clemson Tigers are atop this list of the best defensive tackles in the ACC heading into the 2021 season.

Former Clemson offensive lineman and current ACC Network analyst Eric Mac Lain released his ranking of the top five DTs in the ACC entering 2021, and Clemson’s Bryan Bresee and Tyler Davis are No. 1 and No. 2 on the list, respectively.

Miami’s Nesta Jade Silvera, Pittsburgh’s Calijah Kancey and North Carolina’s Raymond Vohasek round out Mac Lain’s ranking, in that order.

Bresee, the former No. 1 recruit in the country, burst onto the scene as a Freshman All-American in 2020 when he became the second ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year in Clemson history, joining Dexter Lawrence (2016).
