Dabo Swinney is on the hunt for those big, athletic playmakers who can tilt the field, and now he’s got his sights set on a name every football fan knows.

Julian Cromartie, the son of NFL star Antonio Cromartie, just locked in his official visit to Clemson for the weekend of May 29. At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, this kid can flat-out fly, and his recruitment is taking off like a rocket.

The Texas Transformation

Cromartie was flying under the radar at Mater Dei Catholic, but once he made the move to College Park High in Texas, he turned heads in a hurry. He didn’t just show up—he blew up, putting up these numbers:

  • Receptions: 42
  • Yards: 824
  • Touchdowns: 13
  • Accolades: First-Team All-District honors.

Those stats didn’t go unnoticed. Suddenly, the offers came pouring in—16 in all—from blue bloods like Georgia, Texas, and Michigan. But Clemson’s relentless pursuit has put the Tigers right in the thick of his top three.

The "Inside Track" Advantage

The experts might have Kentucky out front right now, but Clemson isn’t backing down. The Tigers have a couple of aces up their sleeve in this recruiting battle:

  1. Family Ties: Julian’s sister, JurzieBlu, is already a Tiger commit for the gymnastics team. The "family feel" of Clemson is already built-in.
  2. Full-Court Press: Chad Morris and Tyler Grisham have both made the trek to Texas to see Cromartie in person. He’s not just another name—he’s a top priority for the 2027 class.

The "Big Weekend" Guest List

Cromartie’s not coming alone on May 29. He’ll be part of a loaded group of visitors, including:

  • Trey Wimbley (Current Commit)
  • Jamarin Simmons (4-star target, Crystal Balled to Clemson)
  • Lawrence Britt (4-star target)

If Clemson can reel in Cromartie, they’re not just adding a three-star with size—they’re getting NFL bloodlines and a playmaker whose best days are still to come.
