Top-65 OL has Clemson football on narrowed list with a commitment date set

Dabo Swinney and Clemson football had themselves a huge spring.

The two-time national title-winning head coach worked his butt off on the recruiting trail to go from just a handful of 2026 commitments to 14 and he raised the Tigers to No. 2 nationally in team rankings. Not only is he working with quantity, but he also has quality players committed.

Guess what? He's not even close to done yet.

While he has just one commitment since the start of April, Swinney is working on getting that summer official visit schedule together, knowing that more commitments are on the way.

A top offensive line target of his just narrowed his list to four programs and announced a commitment date of July 11, per 247Sports.

Charlotte native Leo Delaney, a four-star offensive lineman, is the No. 63 overall recruit in the country on 247Sports and he's down to four teams with about 2.5 months left to make a decision. Usually when a recruit sets a commitment date, he already has a good idea of where he's going.

But since summer officials are coming up, he may be waiting until after he sees each school. Clemson will be getting the first visit on May 30, followed by Penn State, Michigan, and lastly Tennessee.

Getting the first or last visit is usually an advantage because you're either setting the tone and making it tough for the rest of the schools to follow up or you're ending on a high note and giving the recruit something to really think about. Clemson is in a good spot here with the first visit.

Delaney is the No. 5 interior offensive lineman in the 2026 class, per 247Sports, and Michigan and Tennessee currently hold the only two crystal balls for him. Hopefully that changes on May 30.
