Clemson commits earn Opening Finals invite


Brandon Rink Brandon Rink - Assoc. Editor / Staff Writer -

Two Clemson commits punched their ticket to the Opening Finals this summer.

Four-star defensive tackle Demonte Capehart (Hartsville, S.C.) and offensive lineman Mitchell Mayes (Raleigh, N.C.) were standouts in the Charlotte Opening Regional on Sunday.

Capehart was also a defensive MVP for a Charlotte Rivals camp recently. He is rated as high as the No. 29 prospect in the nation and the No. 2 defensive tackle in the country (247Sports).

Mayes is rated as high as No. 18 nationally (ESPN).

Other Opening Finals invitees so far from Clemson commits include another OL/DL combo in Paul Tchio (OL) and Tre Williams (DT). No. 1-rated prospect Bryan Bresee was a 2018 Opening Finals participant as a rising junior.

The 2019 Opening Finals competition will be held June 30-July 3 at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
