CLEMSON — When Clemson begins fall camp on July 31, the Tigers’ tight end room will be fully healthy.
Olsen Patt-Henry, who missed the spring recovering from a shoulder injury, has been cleared to return to practice. Patt-Henry is expected to replace the departed Jake Bringinstool as the starting tight end this season.
“He is cleared, he is good,” tight ends coach Kyle Richardson said during the 2025 Clemson Media Outing and Open House on Tuesday. “He was cleared this summer. He will be 100%.”
Patt-Henry had his most productive season to date playing behind Briningstool last year, reeling in nine catches for 121 yards with three touchdowns.

Heading into his third season with the program, he will be expected to take on a much larger role in the offense and help fill the void left by Bringinstool.
“With a shoulder, you don’t want to rush back from that so he has had a great summer,” Richardson added. “He is one of those — you’ve got to hold him back. He is really eager to get back on the field and play football.”
