Swinney believes Clemson got ‘a heck of a player’ in Boateng

Dabo Swinney is glad that Kaleb Boateng stayed patient with and open to Clemson leading up to the early signing period.

Despite not receiving an offer from the Tigers until essentially the eleventh hour of his recruitment, the Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) offensive lineman chose to sign with Clemson on Wednesday morning when the early signing period commenced.

“We’re really slow to offer a lot of these guys,” Swinney said during his early signing period press conference Wednesday. “But he was a guy that we really liked. It’s just we had a couple of guys that we were going to wait and see what they were going to do, and instead of playing games and all that stuff, we just tell everybody the truth.
