One of the biggest focuses has been the return of wide receiver Tyler Brown, who has impressed after recovering from an ankle injury that limited him last season. Meanwhile, true freshman defensive tackle Amare Adams has taken advantage of extra reps with several veterans sidelined, showing he can contribute early. Another freshman, Gideon Davidson, looks to be the difference maker at running back. Advertisement Head coach Dabo Swinney has also opted for a more controlled approach to the annual Orange & White Game, turning it into a scrimmage rather than a full game due to roster availability.

Where multiple Tigers land in 247Sports final 2025 freshman rankings
Where multiple Tigers land in 247Sports final 2025 freshman rankings Clemson's 2025 recruiting class saw key commits earn strong final rankings from 247Sports, with four future Tigers making the Top247. Headlining the group is five-star defensive lineman Amare Adams, who climbed to No. 7 overall in the final rankings. Adams, already a five-star on Rivals, impressed at the Navy All-American Bowl, where he dominated practices and showcased his blend of size, power, and athleticism. At 315 pounds, Adams moves with rare agility for his position, making him a disruptive force in both the run and pass game. He is now rated as the No. 2 defensive lineman in the class. Offensive lineman Brayden Jacobs is the next-highest Clemson signee, checking in at No. 55 overall. The early enrollee brings size and physicality to the Tigers' future trenches. Rounding out Clemson's Top247 representatives are running back Gideon Davidson (No. 121) and athlete Marquise Henderson (No. 205), both dynamic playmakers who will add depth and versatility to the roster.
