Tigerillustrated.com brought to light Swinney's strong interest in Kissayi in our June 19 Insider.

Kissayi has attended the Swinney Camp for two years in a row, including competing at the full three-day session last month.

He had already taken an official visit to Rutgers and would proceed to pledge to Minnesota after giving the Golden Gophers an official the week after the Clemson camp.

Nebraska had been scheduled to draw his final official.

Miami reportedly offered right before the Minnesota visit, while Michigan threw in a token offer in January.

All told, Kissayi claimed 19 offers.

As a junior at Palm Beach (Fla.) Bayside, he was credited with 33 tackles and 8.5 sacks in nine games.

He becomes the 15th Clemson commitment for this cycle and second public pledge in the month of July, joining Franklin (Tenn.) four-star offensive lineman Ronan O'Connell who announced his decision on July 4. 12 of the Tigers' 15 pledges hold a four-star billing from Rivals.com.

Tigerillustrated.com will have much more on Kissayi in our Monday Insider.
