6-8 Kansas tackle Braden Wilmes brings rare length and multi-year varsity polish to Clemson
Wilmes is a **big, developmental offensive tackle** whose appeal is obvious: at 6-foot-8 and roughly 280 pounds, he already has the frame Clemson covets, and he backed it up with three-time All-Sunflower League honors, 2,000+ career snaps, and first-team league recognition in 2024 and 2025. He is ranked among the top Kansas prospects and was rated around the No. 34–35 OT nationally by major services, suggesting a high-upside add with real projection. His best fit is a program willing to refine his technique while banking on his size, experience, and ceiling.
