Clemson Football Recruiting: Tigers have another impressive class

The spring and summer were fruitful for Dabo Swinney and the Clemson staff on the recruiting trail.

The Tigers built some serious momentum this cycle and they boast a loaded pledge list this fall. Clemson has 21 commits and a class that ranks No. 15 nationally in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

Clemson landed eight commitments in the month of March, headlined by Jacksonville Bolles four-star wide receiver Naeem Burroughs, the No. 28 recruit overall and No. 3 wideout in the 2026 Rivals300. Burroughs is one of three receivers in the class, alongside Purcellville (Va.) Bullis four-star Connor Salmin and Charlotte Providence Day four-star Gordon Sellars, both of whom are also top-200 recruits.

Offensive line recruiting has gone according to plan for the touted Matt Luke. Six O-line commits are in the mix, headlined by Charlotte Providence Day four-star interior offensive lineman Leo Delaney, Orlando First Academy four-star IOL Chancellor Barclay and Leesburg (Va.) Loudoun County four-star IOL Carter Scruggs the No. 5, 10 and 13 IOLs in the cycle.

There’s also a wave of pledges in the secondary. Roebuck (S.C.) Dorman four-star safety Kentavion Anderson is Rivals’ No. 5 safety and one of five defensive backs currently in the fold for the ACC program.

The class even includes a pair of quarterback commits. Queen Creek (Ariz.) four-star Tait Reynolds and Birmingham (Ala.) Spain Park three-star Brock Bradley have each been committed since last summer.

The class also ranks No. 3 in the ACC. The entire pledge list can be seen below:
