National Signing Day 2015 has come and gone and this Clemson football recruiting class has been wrapped up.
Given the amount of talent departing from the defense this offseason, Dabo Swinney and the Clemson coaches needed to bring in plenty of talent on that side of the ball. The Tigers’ most immediate concern in 2015 will be finding replacements for guys like Vic Beasley and Grady Jarrett. It’s no surprise, then, that this recruiting class is heavy on talented defensive linemen.
The 2015 recruiting class is generally considered to be one of the best in program history. With the amount of talent heading to Clemson from this class, the Tigers should be well-positioned for continued success in the near future.
