A massive weekend is approaching for Dabo Swinney and Clemson football.

The Tigers are getting set to host around 30 of the best recruits in the country in the same weekend and it's kicking off official visit season in a big way.

Over the next month, Clemson will host countless prospects as part of the official visit window that programs are allotted during the summer and this is a chance for Dabo and his staff to make a lasting impression and potentially grow that recruiting class to 20 by the start of the 2025 season.

With the weekend quickly approaching, here are who I believe are the three most important uncommitted recruits who will be on campus.

1. Tyler Atkinson, 5-star LB

This was an easy choice for No. 1. Tyler Atkinson will be the top-ranked recruit on campus this weekend and he is high on Clemson as well as his home-state Georgia Bulldogs. This could come down to a two-team battle and if Clemson wants to wrestle him away from the Bulldogs, they'll need to put together a near-perfect official visit.

Atkinson is ranked the No. 1 linebacker in the class and the No. 9 prospect overall.

2. Bryce Perry-Wright, 5-star DL

On to another five-star making the trip to Clemson this weekend, fans are hoping that Bryce Perry-Wright can join the class and become the next elite defensive lineman to play for the Tigers.

It'll be a tough fight, though, as Auburn has made a strong push lately while Miami, Texas, and Texas A&M are all right there in the running, too. Swinney will have to have the perfect putch for Perry-Wright this weekend if he wants to land him.

Perry-Wright is the No. 32 recruit in the 2026 class.

3. Carter Scruggs, 4-star OT

You might be wondering why my third choice isn't the third five-star visiting and it's because I believe that this visit could legitimately sway Carter Scruggs' decision.

The four-star offensive lineman just trimmed his list recently and Clemson made the cut right before his first official visit. If he's blown away this weekend, who knows what he'll opt to do, but Dabo is right there at the finish line with the Virginia native, he just needs to close the deal.

Scruggs is the No. 164 recruit in the class.
