The Clemson Tigers had a big recruiting weekend as they faced off against the South Carolina Gamecocks in a high-stakes rivalry game. While the game had significant College Football Playoff implications, the Tigers were also focused on recruiting. Multiple high-profile targets, including in-state players considering both Clemson and South Carolina, were in attendance.
One standout player at the game was 4-star WR Donovan Murph, a 2025 prospect who recently took an official visit to Clemson. The battle for Murph’s commitment seems to be between the two in-state schools, with South Carolina currently seen as having an edge. However, a win for Clemson in the game could potentially sway Murph’s decision. He is set to announce his decision at the Under Armor All-American Game on January 3.
In addition to Murph, there were several other players confirmed to be on hand for the recruiting weekend. Many of these players were big-time offensive line targets in the 2026 class, showcasing Clemson’s focus on building a strong roster for the future.
Looking ahead, the Tigers are gearing up for future recruiting classes as well. Players from the 2027 class were also in attendance, highlighting Clemson’s efforts to secure top talent for years to come.
Overall, the recruiting weekend was a success for the Tigers as they showcased their program to potential future stars. The game against South Carolina not only had implications on the field but also in the recruiting world, emphasizing the importance of building a strong team roster for the future success of the program.
