Heading into the 2022 season, ClemsonWire will look at multiple players on the Clemson football roster.

Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school and what role they will play for head coach Dabo Swinney this season.

For this profile, we will take a closer look at tight end Jake Briningstool.

Entering his second season with the Tigers, Briningstool will continue to get significant second team reps behind veteran starter Davis Allen.

The tight end, who was one of twelve early enrollees in 2021, caught three passes for 67 yards and a touchdown through eight game appearances in his freshman campaign in 2021.
