JACKSONVILLE, FL- After some big moves late, Clemson finished up strong with its 2024 recruiting class.
However, some of the biggest moves were made back in the summer, as the Tigers added some dynamic players at every skill position, outside of quarterback.
Bryant Wesco and TJ Moore give Garrett Riley the ability to take the top off of the defense at WR. David Eziomume (RB) is a home run threat every time he touches the ball, and Christian Bentancur gives the Tigers another matchup nightmare at TE.
Riley talked about the class after a recent bowl practice, noting that he felt like his offense got better in more than one area of need.
“I feel like we've hit a home run with a lot of these guys and really addressed some needs that we're going to need for this upcoming season," Riley said. The big thing is a lot of these guys are coming in in January, and to really be able to hit the ground running and insert them into our team and see what that's going to look like in spring football is going to be a huge addition for us.”
Some of the early enrollees have already joined the team in Jacksonville and are taking part in some practices, including Eziomume. While they are not allowed to play in the game, Riley said the group has brought some fresh energy to the field ahead of the Tigers' Gator Bowl matchup against Kentucky on Friday.
“You just get this new energy," Riley said. "You go through the grind of a season where you may not get a ton of reps as a young player. Now all of a sudden, you're getting a lot of reps and just these additional practices that we’re granted. That's how you should be rewarded getting to a bowl game. We've gotten those guys a lot of work and this new energy with those guys.”
