PJ Fleck added a significant addition to his Gopher defensive line as DT - Nyles Pinckney announced that he is leaving Clemson and will play his final season for Minnesota.
Pinckney has played in 55 games over 4 seasons for Clemson, starting 13. In 2019 he earned 3rd team All-ACC honors and ended his Tiger career with 3 tackles in the team’s loss to Ohio State in the national semi-final last week. Not to mention his experience gained in 2 national championships.
This addition gives the DT rotation some serious size and experience.
