No room for 5-stars? Clemson reportedly tells top 2020 prospect from Tennessee to look elsewhere

Five-star 2020 DE/LB Reggie Grimes II recently released his top-six schools, including SEC schools Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, LSU and Vanderbilt.
He was also considering Clemson, but that appears to have fallen by the wayside, and the reasoning behind it is fascinating.
Per a report on Tuesday, Clemson basically told the No. 3 weak-side defensive end in the 2020 class (per the 247Sports composite) and the top prospect out of Tennessee that it was full at both the defensive end and linebacker positions:

This report from the Tennessean also states that the Tigers told Grimes they didn’t have room for him.
Interestingly, Clemson has zero defensive ends and outside linebackers (the Tigers do have two inside linebacker commits) in its 2020 class at the moment, per 247Sports. The Tigers also have zero 5-star players at the moment.
