Tyler Grisham’s first recruiting trip in late 2019 started with airplane trouble and a scary landing, but Grisham is now flying high as the Tigers’ recruiting coordinator.
When former defensive tackles coach Todd Bates left for Oklahoma following Clemson’s win over Iowa St. in the Cheez-It Bowl, it not only opened up that job but also the job as the Tigers’ recruiting coordinator. It’s a role that’s been held by Jeff Scott and Brandon Streeter, but Bates held the post since the end of the 2019 season.
Swinney could have moved Streeter back into that role, but Streeter was recently promoted to offensive coordinator, and since he already has the responsibility of leading the quarterbacks, Grisham was Swinney’s most obvious choice.
