Clemson’s 2024 recruiting class gained the commitment of 2024 four-star tight end Christian Bentancur earlier today. Bentancur’s commitment to the Tigers comes just one day after Dabo Swinney’s decision to make a change on the offensive side of the ball, relieving Brandon Streeter of his playcalling duties after just one season.
The Tigers’ offense will now be run by Garrett Riley, who lands in Tiger Town after helping lead TCU to the National Championship Game this season. Riley inked a three-year $1.75 million dollar deal along with a $300,000 signing bonus earlier today.
Riley arrived at TCU following a 2021 campaign in which the Horned Frogs finished 5-7 and produced the nation’s 65th-ranked scoring offense. In his lone season in Fort Worth, he transformed the unit into the nation’s ninth-ranked scoring offense at 38.8 points per game. His offense was one of the nation’s most explosive in 2022, as TCU led the Football Bowl Subdivision with 22 plays from scrimmage of 50 yards or more.
Tight ends at TCU this past season snagged 35 receptions for 381 yards and 5 TDs in Riley’s high-powered offense.
