Leo Delaney is Clemson’s top-rated commit on ESPN, at No. 75 overall.<\/p>\n
\nESPN updated its 2026 class recruiting rankings just about in the middle of a busy time for visits and commits this month. <\/p>\n Clemson has sustained its momentum in the ’26 group and a Top 5 spot so far, moving up one to No. 4 for ESPN.<\/a><\/p>\n The Tigers have 10 ESPN 300 pledges in the group, including a recent addition of the top-rated offensive commit on ESPN in offensive lineman Leo Delaney<\/a> (No. 75 overall; No. 11 OT).<\/p>\n “With some new offensive weapons, the Tigers are making sure they have the time to get the ball downfield by loading up along the offensive line. Delaney, Carter Scruggs<\/a>, Grant Wise<\/a>, Adam Guthrie<\/a> and Chancellor Barclay<\/a> give the Tigers multiple ESPN 300 OLs to help reload a senior-heavy unit that is projected to lose multiple starters after 2025,” ESPN’s Craig Haubert said. “They could one day protect fellow four-star Tait Reynolds<\/a>, a dual-threat QB out of Arizona who could push to be part of the long-term solution to replace Cade Klubnik. While the foundation of the class is on offense, Kentavion Anderson<\/a> is a key in-state pickup on the other side of the ball. With his frame (roughly 6-foot-2, 190 pounds) and range, he can be a versatile back-end defender for the Tigers.”<\/p>\n Southern Cal has hung on to its No. 1 spot with 14 ESPN 300 pledges, followed by Ohio State (moved up one), Notre Dame (moved down one), Clemson (moved up one) and Penn State (moved down one).<\/p>\n Syracuse is holding on to a Top 10 spot (10) and is joined in the rankings by ACC teams with SMU (11; previously unranked in the Top 25), UNC (13), Miami (17), Louisville (18) and Stanford (25).<\/p>\n Clemson is also No. 4 in the 247Sports Composite<\/a> (No. 2 in their own class rankings) and No. 7 with On3.<\/a><\/p>\n One of the top targets announcing in the next month is 5-star defensive lineman Bryce Perry-Wright<\/a>, who said this week that he will announce on July 4 from Las Vegas. He said Miami, Texas and Texas A&M are his other finalists previously.<\/p>\n Clemson in the 2026 class rankings<\/p>\n 247Sports: 2 ![\"Brandon](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/bio-brandon-rink.jpg\")
