As he went through the recruiting process, Cade Denhoff fell in love with Clemson and knew it was the school he wanted to attend if given the opportunity.
But the former four-star defensive end from Plant City, Fla., had to stay patient for that opportunity while waiting for a potential scholarship offer from the Tigers, who liked Denhoff after seeing him in camp but wanted to see him grow and develop physically.
Denhoff, now listed at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, did just that and eventually earned the long-awaited offer from Clemson as a rising junior on July 15, 2019.
