What Rudolph brings to Clemson: Rudolph comes to Clemson from state powerhouse Northwestern, so facing high expectations is not new for him. He comes into Clemson after missing most of his senior season with a torn labrum. In just two games, he tallied 11 tackles.
During his junior year, Rudolph finished with 62 tackles, 15 sacks and nine tackles for loss. Rudolph is a high-motor player that gets out of his stance quickly, which allows him to keep offensive linemen's hands off of him. His strength is rushing the passer.
While he is being recruited to play defense, Rudolph could be a candidate to move to offense to play tight end. In his junior year, he hauled in eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown. The Tigers are very deep and talented along the defensive line, but there are questions at tight end with the departure of Jordan Leggett.
