Trip to Clemson makes things clearer for top tight end

With a trip to Death Valley in the books, the recruiting picture for nation’s top 2021 tight end is becoming clearer.

4-star Brentwood (TN) Ravenwood tight end Jake Briningstool picked up a Clemson offer at Dabo Swinney’s high school camp in June and made his first trip to Death Valley for last week’s 24-10 win over Texas A&M.

The experience was everything Briningstool expected.

“That was my first time in Death Valley. I had heard all about it (Clemson's tradition of running down the hill) and how cool it is but to actually see it live was pretty special,” Briningstool told TigerNet Monday evening.
