Listed size: 6-4 271.

Recruiter: Brent Venables, Todd Bates.

Early enrollee

Brings to Clemson: Orhorhoro is only two seasons of competitive football in after initially playing basketball in high school, but Orhorhoro’s raw skills and quick body-transformation caught the eye of a number of coaches before he pledged to the Tigers after a visit this June. Orhorhoro played inside and out on the D-line for River Rouge (Mi.) and showed to be a disruptive force lining up either way.

Depth chart fit: With three departures expected at defensive tackle, Orhorhoro may be groomed to be a contributor down the road inside when he steps on campus in January. Orhorhoro is in a group of DL prospects in the class who could fit at DE or DT, as well as DT prospect Tayquon Johnson.
