Freshman Sensation Bryce Kish Joins the Pride
As Dabo Swinney and the Tigers turn to the 2027 class, Clemson has secured linebacker Bryce Kish, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound four-star prospect ranked No. 60 overall by Rivals and No. 5 linebacker by 247Sports. After emerging from an unranked start, Kish excelled at Howell High School in Michigan with 29 tackles, four sacks, and 694 rushing yards as a running back, showcasing rare versatility. His commitment helps Clemson crack the recruiting class top ten, complementing six other pledges, including three defenders. Scouts believe Kish’s speed, long arms, and athleticism project him as an edge rusher at the college level.
Move over, tigers, you’ve just pounced on a real “cat burglar” of defensive talent. Critics said he might be too tall to tackle, too fast to fumble, and too busy hoarding touchdowns as a rusher to remember his linebacker assignment. But somehow, Clemson flipped the script, landing a kid who apparently can outrun offensive tackles and outrush running backs. It’s like recruiting a Swiss Army knife with cleats—why settle for a one-trick pony when you can have a linebacker who moonlights as a halfback? Dabo’s got another gadget for his championship toolbox; let’s see if Kish’s next trick is making NFL scouts weep.
Seniors Take a Final Bow at Littlejohn Coliseum
In their 79-76 victory over Georgia Tech, seniors RJ Godfrey, Jestin Porter, Butta Johnson, Nick Davidson, and Dillon Hunter played their last Littlejohn Coliseum regular-season game. With an NCAA Tournament bid secured, the Tigers gear up for March’s win-or-go-home battles. Highlights included Porter’s MVP performance at the Charleston Classic and a pivotal win over No. 24 Louisville. While only Hunter and Godfrey boast prior March Madness experience, the senior class hopes to cap their Clemson careers with a memorable postseason run, fueled by roaring fan support.
Ah, collegiate drama at its finest: five seniors squeezing out one more shabby high-five in front of a crowd that might’ve been more enthusiastic if the fire alarms went off mid-game. They’ve survived over a hundred games, but nothing’s tougher than remembering which conference tournament they’re playing in. Shrieking fans? Check. Heart-stopping hits? Only in their errant free throws. Will their Cinderella story end in the Sweet 16 or a “better luck next year” first-round flop? Either way, enjoy that final stand, seniors—soon you’ll be paying rent instead of crushing opponents.
Gridiron Veteran John Simpson Heads Back to Ravens
John Simpson, a former Clemson offensive guard, has re-signed with the Baltimore Ravens on a three-year, $30 million contract after stints with the Ravens and New York Jets. The fourth-round pick from the 2020 draft posted a PFF 77.3 grade in 2024 but regressed to 56.9 in 2025. With over 2,000 college snaps and All-American honors at Clemson, Simpson adds veteran depth to Ravens’ offensive line under new coach Jesse Minter, aiming to return Baltimore to playoff contention.
Hold your applause—Simpson’s back and ready to make the most of his $10 million per year batting practice. Somehow, his pass-protection grades have done a yo-yo impression, but fear not, Ravens fans: experience counts, no matter the direction. Signed to keep Joe Flacco-safe or maybe just to impress the combine’s old-timer section, Simpson’s return is either a stroke of genius or a creative budget reallocation. Time will tell if he’s the missing jigsaw piece or just another overpriced lawn gnome on the O-line.
