What We Heard - Ruke Orhorhoro enjoying bigger role

From the first day of spring practice, redshirt sophomore Ruke Orhorhoro knew the Clemson defense was special

“We used to do explosion drills, and it would get heated here at 6 in the morning,” he said. “Me, Tyler (Davis), Tré (Williams), and Bryan (Bresee) would always compete no matter what it was and prove who was the fastest guy.”

After sustaining an injury in the Tigers’ season opener against Wake Forest last year, Orhororo missed most of the season, qualifying him for a medical redshirt. Orhorhoro collected three tackles in his first career start against Georgia this season and was credited with a team-high six tackles (two for loss) against South Carolina State over the weekend, sharing team defensive player of the game honors.
