Dabo Swinney and his staff are already on fire with the 2027 class, but Mike Reed is not satisfied. Clemson’s ace cornerbacks coach is pushing the envelope, looking even further ahead to make sure the Tiger secondary stays elite for years to come.
The Tigers just made it official: Clemson has thrown its hat in the ring for elite 2028 cornerback Kahmaree Crumity.
Clemson is planting its flag right in the heart of Tallahassee, deep in enemy territory and just a stone’s throw from Florida State’s front porch. The Tigers are making it clear they’re coming after one of the nation’s most coveted defensive backs, even though Crumity is still two years away from signing day.
The Recruiting Profile: Kahmaree Crumity
Here’s the quick-hit breakdown on the newest elite name every Tiger fan needs to know:
- High School / Hometown: Lincoln High School (Tallahassee, Florida)
- Class: 2028 (Rising High School Junior)
- Physical Vitals: 6-foot-0, 173 pounds
- 247Sports Composite National Rank: No. 323 overall player in America
- Position Ranking: No. 34 Cornerback nationally
- State Ranking: No. 47 overall prospect in the talent-rich state of Florida
No Hidden Gem: A Massive National Battleground
Make no mistake, Crumity is no hidden gem. Even as a young gun, his recruitment is already in overdrive, with a jaw-dropping 42 scholarship offers on the table.
The big boys—Georgia, Oregon, Texas A&M, Notre Dame—are already circling. For Clemson to dive into this recruiting shark tank right now shows just how much Mike Reed and the Tigers value Crumity as a true blue-chip, must-have priority.

Early and Intentional: The 2028 Secondary Blueprint
The timing here says it all. Crumity is just the third defensive back Clemson has offered in the entire 2028 class.
Everyone knows Swinney and Clemson don’t hand out offers lightly. When the Tigers move this early, it means they’ve pored over the film, checked out the character, and decided this kid is a perfect fit for the Clemson culture—on and off the field.
Right now, there are no Crystal Ball picks for Crumity. Clemson is making a calculated early move to get him on campus for summer camps, start building those all-important relationships, and stake their claim as a heavyweight before the national spotlight really heats up.
