The home stretch is here, folks. After another strong spring which concluded with an exciting scrimmage, Clemson football heads into the summer with high hopes and lofty goals.
The Tigers look like a team that could legitimately win a national title and the excitement seems to be back with the program. After years of falling short of expectations, this team just feels different.
While the on-field excitement is back, it feels like recruiting is feeling that momentum, too.
In fact, the Tigers have the No. 2 class in the country for 2026 with 13 commits and Dabo Swinney has been hot on the trail. He landed a number of elite recruits just this spring like Chancellor Barclay, Connor Salmin, and Naeem Burroughs, but he might just be closing in on another.
Clemson is actually trending for one of the top receivers in the 2026 class, four-star Gordon Sellars from Charlotte, N.C., with a commitment announcement coming on April 18.
According to 247Sports Crystal Ball projections, Sellars is looking like a strong Clemson lean, picking up three predictions to land with the Tigers over the past couple of weeks. The latest prediction came as recent as three days ago which makes sense because he just took a visit
Seeing Tristan Smith break out during the spring game had to be a huge selling point along with witnessing arguably the best receiving corps in the nation up close.
If you're a young receiver looking to play for an elite program, Clemson has to be the obvious choice because of how it has developed talent at the position over the years. And now the Tigers have the best group of receivers in the country and they can always count on having an elite quarterback getting them the ball.
Sellars may have been sold this past weekend.
