When looking at Clemson’s 2026 recruiting class, there’s some good news and some not-so-good news.
The good news? The Tigers’ class is ranked higher than the previous class. On3 and the 247 Composite both have the 23-member class ranked at No. 20.
The not-so-good news? While the current class is ranked higher than last year’s, it’s not by much. On3 ranked the 2025 class No. 23, while the Composite ranked it No. 26. And let’s be real, to be where Clemson wants to be, the Tigers need to be recruiting at a higher level. At worst, inside the Top 15 consistently.
