If you're Dabo Swinney, you have to love where Clemson football sits in the 2026 recruiting class. Not only do you have 15 commits already, but more are on the way because of official visit season which begins on May 30.
And that first weekend of official visits is expected to be a massive one for Swinney and Co. as 247Sports reports that 30 recruits will be on campus.
Swinney has been recruiting at a high level in 2026 with the No. 4 class in the country and he's aiming for the stars still with probably 10, or so, spots remaining. He can be more selective and the May 30 recruiting weekend could allow him to handpick some elite players to join his class.
He really needs to knock the May 30 weekend out of the park.
Just how big is this weekend? Over half of these 30 visitors are four or five-star recruits. Only three of them are rated lower than an 87 overall on 247Sports (an 89 is usually the cut-off for four-stars).
Let's take a look at who will be on campus (according to 247Sports) on May 30.
