Clemson starting DT Tyler Davis - rumored to contracted covid. They are thin at DT, the other starter is Bryan Breese (a badass)....but the #3 & #4 DT's have a combined 40 something career snaps. From 247: The No. 3 tackle behind Davis and Bresee is redshirt sophomore Ruke Orhorhoro, who redshirted last year due to injury. He played 33 snaps in four games in 2020. Orhorhoro drew encouraging reviews from the staff during camp.
“We got so many veterans over there, but I would probably just have to say Ruke,” Swinney said last month when asked about most improved players. “He has just missed a lot of time, but he is the guy, if I had to pick one guy that I think has a chance to have a great season, I would say Ruke. He is ready. He is ready to be the guy. Ruke has made big strides for us up front. Big strides.”
"The more Ruke plays, the better he gets," defensive coordinator Brent Venables said last month. "Looks like a million bucks and has been playing really quick and fast and strong. He's still got an incredible ceiling and expect him to get better and really help us."
"I feel like I've taken a big step mentally and physically," Orhorhoro told reporters in fall camp. "I've got my body right, got my body lean coming off the injury. It's actually very slow this camp compared to last camp, because now I can see what the offense is going to do and identify it a lot quicker. ... My strength is rushing the passer, but now I'm getting better at stoping the run."
The No. 4 tackle is likely redshirt freshman Tre Williams, who suffered a season-ending injury early in the 2020 season. Williams played 14 snaps in two games in 2020.
