Clemson secured a verbal commitment from 5-star defensive lineman Bryan Bresee today. Bresee will come to Clemson from Damascus, Maryland (Damascus) and is 6-5, 290 pounds. He is the #1 defensive tackle in the 2020 class per the 247Sports Composite and the #1 player overall. Bresee chose Clemson over essentially every team in the country. The primary competition was Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan. The Tigers took the lead in his recruitment following his visit to the South Carolina game in 2018, strengthened their position during Elite Junior Day in January, and secured his commitment following an outstanding trip to the Spring Game.
