Signing Day Central: Clemson’s early signing day starts now: Flips and future on deck

The early signing period is college football’s first real snapshot of the future—the moment where “committed” becomes ink, where months of evaluations and relationships finally turn into official paperwork.

Clemson enters the day positioned to make noise, not just because of star power, but because of what signing day always reveals: fit. This is the first clear look at the next wave of Tigers—blue-chippers with spotlight expectations, plus the under-the-radar takes Clemson believes it can develop into difference-makers.

And for fans, that’s the fun of it. Signing day isn’t just a list of names. It’s the start of a new storyline.

How we’re tracking it today

As National Letters of Intent roll in, we’re updating!

Check back throughout the day as the class becomes final and the story sharpens:

WR Connor Salmin — Bullis School (Purcellville, VA)

Salmin is a smooth 6-1, 190-pound receiver with strong body control and natural hands. He’s a refined route runner who consistently wins with timing and precision. A top-200 national prospect, Salmin’s versatility — inside or outside — and reliable catch traits make him a prototypical Clemson developmental WR who could climb the depth chart early.

CB Shavar Young — Webb School (Knoxville, TN)

Young brings speed, fluid hips, and advanced coverage technique to Clemson’s DB room. At 5-11, 175 pounds, he’s sticky in man coverage and has been a consistent riser on the camp circuit. He projects as a competitive outside or nickel corner with strong instincts and toughness.

IOL Leo Delaney — Providence Day (Charlotte, NC)

Delaney is a long, athletic 6-5 interior lineman with a high developmental ceiling. Already a top-20 guard nationally, he flashes excellent movement skills for his size and is particularly effective pulling or climbing to linebackers. He’s a traits-heavy prospect who fits Clemson’s interior OL pipeline and should benefit from a college strength program.

TE Tayveon Wilson — Huntington Prep (Huntington, WV)

Wilson is a versatile, athletic tight end who moves like a big receiver at 6-2, 205. He’s explosive with the ball in space and projects as a hybrid H-back who can create mismatches. Clemson loves his athletic upside and sees him as a modern move tight end capable of stretching defenses.

IOL Carter Scruggs — Loudoun County (Leesburg, VA)

Scruggs brings versatility — guard or center — with the strength to anchor and the size to bully interior defenders. He’s a steady, consistent blocker with significant upside

WR Naeem Burroughs — Bolles School (Jacksonville, FL)

One of the nation’s top slot weapons, Burroughs brings instant playmaking punch with elite separation ability and polished route running. His top-100 national status reflects his complete skill set, and he’s one of Clemson’s most ready-made offensive weapons.

LB Brayden Reilly — St. Xavier (Cincinnati, OH)

A high-IQ linebacker with 6-3 size and physicality, Reilly fits Clemson’s mold of smart, downhill defenders who excel in diagnosing plays.

OT Adam Guthrie — Miami Trace (Washington Court House, OH)

With a 6-7 frame and long arms, Guthrie is a classic developmental tackle. He already shows strong pass-protection traits and has starter potential once he adds mass.

WR Gordon Sellars — Providence Day (Charlotte, NC)

Sellars gives Clemson a true outside mismatch at 6-3, with fluid movement and a large catch radius. He wins downfield, tracks the ball naturally, and adds much-needed size to the Tigers’ perimeter

S Kentavion Anderson — Dorman (Roebuck, SC)

Clemson kept one of the state’s best home. Anderson is a long, physical safety who covers ground effortlessly and brings versatility in coverage. A top-100 national prospect, he’s the type of every-down defensive back Clemson builds around.

IOL Chancellor Barclay — The First Academy (Orlando, FL)

A technician with power, Barclay is already built like a college guard. His leverage and hand placement stand out, making him one of Clemson’s highest-floor signees.

DL Kameron Cody — Benedictine Military School (Savannah, GA)

A powerful 281-pound interior defender, Cody brings strong run-stopping ability and the frame to become a disruptive ACC defensive tackle.

QB Brock Bradley — Spain Park (Birmingham, AL)

Bradley is accurate and competitive with a quick release and strong short-to-intermediate command. He adds depth and developmental quality to Clemson’s quarterback room

IOL Grant Wise — Pace (Milton, FL)

Wise is a tone-setter: 300 pounds, violent at the point of attack, and still improving in pass protection. He fits Clemson’s longstanding identity of physical, hard-nosed interior linemen.

OT Braden Wilmes — Free State (Lawrence, KS)

The most physically imposing lineman of the group at 6-8, Wilmes possesses enormous long-term potential. His length and athleticism project cleanly to left tackle.

EDGE JR Hardrick — South Pittsburg (South Pittsburg, TN)

Hardrick is a long, twitchy pass rusher who oozes upside. His burst and reach make him an ideal developmental edge rusher in Clemson’s scheme.

CB Marcell Gipson — South Oak Cliff (Dallas, TX)

Gipson is a twitchy athlete with strong ball skills and quick feet. He projects well as a nickel corner with room to grow in Clemson’s strength program.

QB Tait Reynolds — Queen Creek (Queen Creek, AZ)

Reynolds brings touch, poise, and mobility with a polished release and calm pocket presence. His multi-sport athletic background and early commitment make him a foundational offensive piece.

LS Jackson Reach — Mira Costa (Manhattan Beach, CA)

One of the nation’s top long snappers, Reach brings consistency and athleticism. Clemson has a strong specialist development track record, and Reach fits seamlessly into that tradition.
