ESPN ranks Clemson’s 2025 recruiting class in the early Top 10

Clemson’s 2025 recruiting class is looking great so far.

For a program like Clemson football, recruiting is essential. 

The Tigers rarely, if ever, dip into the transfer portal, and when they have recently, it hasn’t been for more than depth. In modern college football, if you’re not taking advantage of the portal, you need to be hitting on the recruiting trail. 

Luckily for Clemson fans, that’s something this program does well. According to ESPN’s latest article ranking the Top 10 teams in the 2025 class ($), Clemson currently has the 6th best.

The Tigers have checked several boxes early on with commitments at several positions. They already have two RBs in this class in Davidson and in-state prospect Marquise Henderson. Davidson is a runner with a nice blend of size, speed and power and posted monster numbers this season, rushing for 2,700 yards with 43 TDs. Blake Hebert missed most of his junior season with an injury but when healthy he is a QB with good size and a smooth, compact delivery who also moves well and can extend plays. In the trenches, DT Amare Adams is the top-ranked player in South Carolina and OT Easton Ware is used to opening running lanes for his teammate Davidson is a candidate to join him in the JR 300 in the next update.

Clemson’s 2025 class is stacking up well so far, but there is a lot more to come.

Clemson makes the top 10 for a 4-star offensive line target

Clemson has landed in the top 10 of one of the top offensive line recruits in the 2025 class.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson coaching staff are actively recruiting in the 2025 class, with a top offensive line target announcing the Tigers among his top schools.

Lipscomb Academy (Nashville, Tenn.) four-star Chauncey Gooden took to social media Friday to announce his top ten schools, with Clemson making the cut. The Tigers will compete with Michigan, Oregon, Auburn, Colorado, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, Missouri, and Georgia for his commitment.

According to 247Sports rankings, Gooden is the No.8 interior offensive lineman and the No.154 overall player in the 2025 class. With 0 crystal ball predictions, Gooden is definitely in the cards for the Tigers.
