Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall got the chance to make a pitch to one of their top defensive end targets Monday, and that target came away with a lot to think about.
AJ Hoffler (6-5, 245) is a 4-star 2023 end out of Atlanta (GA) Woodward Academy who has offers from teams like Ohio State, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, and Penn State among others. Ohio State has had the lead for Hoffler, but Monday’s visit did a lot to cut into it.
“Clemson is real close to being even with Ohio State,” Hoffler said.
