Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said after his team’s sixth practice of the spring on Friday that the defensive line is far ahead of where it was a year ago, and it’s not close.
Talented true freshmen Bryan Bresee, Demonte Capehart and Myles Murphy joined the D-line corps when they enrolled in January, adding more depth to a group that includes defensive ends Xavier Thomas, K.J. Henry, Justin Foster, Justin Mascoll, Greg Williams and defensive tackles Tyler Davis, Nyles Pinckney, Jordan Williams, Etinosa Reuben, Ruke Orhorhoro, Darnell Jefferies and Tayquon Johnson.
“Just night and day from where we were last year,” Swinney said of the D-line.
