Clemson lands two crystal ball predictions for 4-star linebacker Jaedon Harmon

Clemson is on fire recruiting in the 2025 class and recently landed a crystal ball prediction for a top LB in the class.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson coaching staff are looking to build a historic 2025 recruiting class, and it’s been a red-hot start for them in the cycle.

The Tigers currently have a Top 3 class for the 2025 cycle and have shown no signs of slowing down. For a team that lives and dies by recruiting, seeing them doing so well in the 2025 class is a good sign.

Recently, four-star 2025 linebacker Jaedon Harmon received a crystal ball prediction to land at Clemson on the 18th, with another one coming in today. The predictions came from 247Sports recruiting analyst Anna Adams and 247Sports Clemson Insider Cory Fravel.

According to 247Sports composite rankings, Harmon is the No. 19 linebacker and No. 150 overall player in the 2025 class. Clemson will land a good one in Harmon if these predictions end up being accurate.

Laurinaitis is already hard at work on the recruiting trail. #GoBucks

With [autotag]James Laurinaitis[/autotag] getting elevated to Ohio State football’s linebackers coach, he has much more responsibility on the recruiting trail.

Finding players that fit what he is looking for is key, and it seems like he has found one in Georgia’s [autotag]Jaedon Harmon[/autotag]. The 6-foot, 1-inch and 215-pound linebacker was offered a Buckeye scholarship on Wednesday evening, marking the first offer given out by Laurinaitis as a full-time staff member.

Harmon is one of the best players at his position in the country, ranking as the No. 19 linebacker and 150th overall prospect in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Ohioan Eli Lee committed prior to Laurinaitis’ elevation, so expect him to put his stamp on prospects that he wants added to his linebackers room.
