The Clemson Tigers picked up another big win on the recruiting trail in the class of 2026 Sunday when four-star safety Blake Stewart announced his commitment to head coach Dabo Swinney's program.
Stewart, listed as 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, out of Woodward Academy in Georgia, announced his commitment in a livestream video. He chose the Tigers over the Miami Hurricanes, the Michigan Wolverines and Vanderbilt Commodores.
Stewart is a four-star prospect in 247Sports' Composite Recruiting Rankings, the No. 24 overall safety in the class of 2026. On3's Industry Rankings lists him as the No. 26 overall safety. With Stewart's announcement, Clemson now has three safeties in its 2026 recruiting class and 21 hard commitments overall.
Stewart follows a string of elite talent to commit to the Tigers since the month of June. He's the most recent Clemson commitment after four-star defensive lineman Keshawn Stancil (Clayton, North Carolina), ranked the No. 15 player at his position in the 2026 class by On3, committed on June 28.
Clemson also added four-star EDGE Dre Quinn and two four-star offensive linemen in Leo Delaney and Carter Scruggs. Both rank as top 10 interior lineman by 247Sports and On3. Three-star EDGE JR Hardrick committed to Clemson in early June.
Clemson's 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked 10th nationally by Rivals/On3 and 11th by 247Sports.
