Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney loves the 2021 recruiting class.

“It’s an exciting group,” Swinney said. “It’s a group that brings power, speed, athleticism, high character and great leadership qualities. And one of the really cool things about this class is they’re all winners. These guys have won. The great majority of these guys have won state championships, or they’ve competed for them, and are coming from programs that have great cultures and they’re well-coached, and I know they’re going to bring that stuff with them.”
