He gonna get first round money. At least one of the 1st few picks in the 2nd round. Today it's not worth the risk of injury to return. We have always said if you get a first round grade you go.

Totally agree. Sad to see him go, but I wish him the best. I hope it works out for him!
Play in the NFL and graduate, his long term objectives!
Next man up on the D-Line….
Go Tigers!

Yes , will be more, brand new defense next year and it’s worrisome that the defensive coordinator couldn’t get the production out of the top ranked defensive line ( ( at the start of the season ) what can he do with kids fresh out of hs. ? he is not the answer but sadly will be at clemson A few years.

Were they? This was our worst DL in terms of sacks/TFL/pressure% in several years.
Happy for Bresee but it would've been nice to actually get some elite productivity out of some of these elite DL we've gotten in the last few years. We haven't had a DL that was one of the top few DL in the nation since 2018 with the Power Rangers.

The DL was not consistent but they were solid
Jan 2, 2023, 4:16 PM

Not every year can be great.
Best LB’s in a while.
But the secondary was truly bad at times and incredibly inconsistent. On defense, I think this is where coaching really reared its ugly head because I think every one of these guys was a four or five star recruit.

This is the price of recruiting at as high of a caliber we are. People are going to go early and get drafted high. Bresee knows much more than the rest of us that life is short.

Don't mind having 5* guys go early, it would just be nice to actually get some productivity out of one of these guys. Is it too much to ask to get an All-American every 2-3 years? We haven't had one since 2018 and it may be a while before we have another

Tyler Davis was 2nd team on FWAA and Phil Steele. I should've been more specific but I was looking for a bit more than 2nd team on lower-level AA rosters. I would say 1st team AA on at least one list and unanimous AA overall is the definition of an AA.
Murphy was 4th team AA last year by Phil Steele.
But yes, I was referring to DL only. For a school that prides ourselves on our DL, we haven't had a dominant player on DL since 2018

It’s football. Players get injured sometimes.
It’s health. Players get sick sometimes.
It’s life. Players must deal with family tragedies sometimes.
A lot less greed and a lot more compassion and understanding should be expected from Clemson’s fans and supporters.

Jan 2, 2023, 8:51 PM

as he could have possibly gotten anywhere. And Clemson got relatively little from him. He was never a dominant force at Clemson, not even against teams like Furman and Lala U. If I were him I would feel bad about ditching out on this team without ever accomplishing anything of note.

I agree with you on this one. I thought his body of work this year, and last too, didn't give him a chance to show what he could bring when 100% healthy all season, but I'm no expert. I wish him well, and hope he is a great pro. I know he is a great young man.

That is the definition of treading water but when you consider we have put weights on our players' legs from a lack of depth. We aren't even treading water anymore. It's more like sinking.

There isn’t a lack of depth at DT
Jan 2, 2023, 2:55 PM
|
|
DE - yes, depending on some additional decisions
Page, Williams, Capehart, Ruben at DT even if the others leave which some haven’t said. Will some of the FR get blended Ed into 2-3 deep? Absolutely - no different than when Bressse, Wilkins, Dex did their FR year.

You clearly know little and understand nothing about Clemson’s depth of high quality DTs … and this depth takes into account the departure of Besee, the likely departure of Tyler Davis, and possible departures of Orhororo and E.Reuben.
Our incoming FR class of 3 highest quality DT signees will keep Clemson at the highest echelon of interior DL play for another 3 years at the least.

If you don’t recognize the magnificent depth that we had (and still have) at the DT position, then you should consider paying attention.
We have more than enough top end DTs to win at the highest level for the next 2 seasons … and this is not even taking into account the inching three new new stud DTs from the 2023 signing class.

If he stayed healthy, we’d be looking at another Dexter and Christian type of DT.
I believe that Bresee will thrive at the next level. He’s built for it. He can play in a 3-4 and a 4-3. I hope he stays healthy cause he can be great like the two I mentioned above.

True. We never got to see his full potential due to missing 12+ games the last 2 seasons (and then having to get back to game shape/speed). The time flew by. I wish him the best of luck. He will be missed.

I get it. If he really is a Top 20 pick it would be really hard to walk away from it. The poor guy has had such a rough year on the personal front and on the health front and I can't blame him for wanting to try and put that behind him and get a fresh start on the next chapter of his life.
Brian, best of luck to you. Thanks for showing nothing but class and a warrior mindset with a humble spirit. You represented the best of what a Clemson man should be and I wish you nothing but the best in your career and your life going forward.

Bresee is going to get drafted based on potential, not on anything he did at Clemson. 15 TFL in 25 games is not even All-ACC level of production

Lol do you even know what you are talking about? Williams, Capehart, possibly Ruke. Mascoll, carter, trotter, Mukuba, Wiggins, Mickens, woodaz has a full year under his belt. Don’t sound young too me. If a freshman is good enough to start that should excite you. Means he’s probably really good.

Good luck Bryan. Thanks for being a Tiger!
I had the pleasure of talking to his Dad and Mom a few times this year. They seem like such great people and were always pleasant and positive even after all they had been through. I remember a guy I worked with one time asking “why do bad things always happen to good people?” This family made me think about that again. Bryan going pro is a great thing for this great family. Gonna miss him and as a fan of course I selfishly would have liked to see him come back but I am proud of this young Tiger. Go get ‘em Bryan.

Given the amount of time missed the past 2 seasons due to injury, illness, & his sister's cancer battle. However, given that he still managed to garner All-ACC honors as well as the high draft projections, I can understand choosing to do so. Wish #11 nothing but the best.

Bresee has great NFL potential

He played hurt and out of shape most of this year for well known reasons out of his control. Wishing him the very best for a healthy and great NFL career! Thanks for attending Clemson Mr. Bresee!

Wishing him a great NFL career. After what he’s endured the last 3 years, I hope he enjoys the next stage with a whole lot less opposition outside his control.

Hate to see him go, but can't knock him for jumping off the ship before it sinks.

Best of luck in the NFL. Would have liked to see stay another year but I understand your decision. Remember once a Clemson Tiger always a Clemson Tiger!

Love Brian, I really do. And he’s been through more than anyone should at his age.
That being said, he only played in 25 of 39 games (64%).
By Christian Wilkins’s 26th game, (which he’d already played in before entering his 3rd season) - he had 42 solo tackles, 39 assists, 17.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 9 passes deflected, and 2 fumble recoveries. Stayed for TWO more seasons and only got better. And loved every minute of it.
I don’t understand the rush.

You all gave your heart and soul to Clemson. You battled more than any of us will ever fully know and you are a warrior that I am thankful wore the paw! You and your family taught us all a lot. I will never forget in your first game back and that overtime win over Wake seeing your Dad run down the aisle celebrating and just having that moment with you after so much the weeks prior. Thanks for giving us that last bowl game too and one last sack for the Clemson faithful!! Best wishes brother and thanks for allowing us to be part of the journey. Can’t wait to see you in the NFL!

Wish him the best, a tough year for him both personally and on the field of play. Nothing personal, but just football business, I don’t remember his name being a called a whole lot when he WAS playing. I hope I’m wrong, but he may be another Bowers in the NFL….maybe a couple or three years and then waivers.

I’ll never forget the night

I was at a bar in DJs hometown and Nick Saban had just left from a home visit with DJ and his family. The guys at the bar around me were so excited about Sabans visit to North Forsyth. It was a big thing to see old Nick and these guys were like kids . They thought having Nick in town was really something … and perhaps it was, These were ready to whip my &$$ when I told them he was headed to Clemson. Of course I didn’t know that but I was sick of hearing the worship of Saban by these clowns
I wish I had been there when Henry chose Clemson at his tv commitment a few days later. He has been nothing but a Big positive for Clemson since that unforgettable tv commitment . I hope that he is a smash in the NFL. He is a real Clemson man. He certainly made the right choice. For himself and for Clemson,
