Early enrollee

Brings to Clemson: Capehart moved up the recruiting rankings after improving his game while seeing tougher tests in a move to IMG Academy (Fla.). Capehart was lauded by Rivals in improving his strength, hands and get-off at the snap to dominate that level of football as a senior.

Depth chart fit: Capehart is one part in one of the more talented interior D-line groups assembled in one class, along with fellow 247Sports Composite 5-star Bryan Bresee and 4-star Tre Williams. Just the competition among that trio to see the field as freshmen will be interesting -- and then there’s some solid depth at the position overall with all 2019 contributors having eligibility remaining.
