Blue collar Venables commits after a push from head coach Dabo Swinney

Tyler Venables is a blue-collar player, much in the mold of his dad, Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables. He didn’t need a lot of hype of buildup or a splashy commitment video. All he needed was a little push from head coach Dabo Swinney.

Venables is a 3-star 2020 safety prospect out of Central (SC) Daniel who committed to the Tigers late Saturday at Swinney’s youth football camp.

Venables, the son of Brent and brother of Clemson linebacker Jake, is rated as a 3-star by the 247Sports Composite rankings. He also held offers from Wake Forest, Coastal Carolina, Nevada, and Jacksonville State.
