On Saturday, Cordova (Tenn.) Evangelical Christian four-star offensive lineman Dietrick Pennington narrowed down his recruitment when he named a final five of Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia and LSU via social media.
The Clemson Insider caught up with Pennington, who feels relieved after releasing his short list.
“It takes a lot of stress off of me with having to try and keep up with so many schools, not trying to be prideful,” Pennington said. “But it gives me a chance to really focus in on these five.”
Pennington (6-5, 325) picked up an offer from Clemson after participating in the Dabo Swinney Camp last summer and most recently visited campus in January for the Tigers’ elite junior day after attending their game against Texas A&M at Death Valley in the fall.
