Clemson lands a quarterback commitment in the 2026 recruiting class.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program have landed a 4-star quarterback in the 2026 class, their first signing of a quarterback in the class.

Reynolds (Queen Creek, AZ) has committed to Clemson, choosing the Tigers over some big-time schools such as Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Miami. While he isn’t the highest-rated quarterback recruit the Tigers could have landed, Reynolds has a unique ceiling and impressed Swinney and his staff enough to become their quarterback in the 2026 class.

Reynolds highest recruiting ranking comes from On3, who ranks the young quarterback as the No. 18 quarterback and No. 253 overall player in the class. His highest quarterback ranking comes from ESPN, who has Reynolds as the No. 5 quarterback in the class.
