Clemson is awaiting a decision regarding defensive tackle DeMonte Capehart’s eligibility for a sixth season. The NCAA is reviewing a waiver that could allow the veteran lineman to return in 2025. Head coach Dabo Swinney revealed on Wednesday that a decision is expected soon, and Capehart has until February 6 to declare for the NFL Draft.
Capehart’s 2024 season showed promise before an ankle injury against Louisville forced him to miss multiple games. He made a limited return for the South Carolina and ACC Championship matchups before regaining full strength in Clemson’s playoff loss to Texas. He finished the year with 27 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and two pass breakups.
Over his five seasons, Capehart has contributed 51 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and a forced fumble. Should he return, his experience would bolster a defensive line already featuring Peter Woods, Stephiylan Green, Vic Burley, and a talented group of young players, including 5-star freshman Amare Adams.
Capehart’s decision looms large as Clemson looks to maintain its defensive dominance next season. Fans are hopeful for the NCAA’s ruling, which could solidify an already stacked position group heading into 2025.
