Social media reacts to Clemson landing 4-star defensive end Dre Quinn over Texas
Clemson football has landed a major addition to its 2026 recruiting class with the commitment of four-star defensive end Dre Quinn. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound pass rusher out of Buford (Ga.) announced his decision on Thursday, choosing the Tigers over Texas. Notre Dame and Georgia had also been contenders earlier in the process, but Quinn trimmed his list to Clemson and Texas earlier this week and canceled a scheduled visit to South Bend. Quinn first visited Clemson last November for the Louisville game and received an offer shortly afterward. He returned in March for the program's Elite Retreat and made his official visit to Clemson during the first weekend of June. Texas and Georgia also hosted him for officials, but Dabo Swinney and his staff were able to close the deal. Rated the No. 105 overall prospect in the country by Rivals, Quinn is also ranked the No. 13 edge rusher nationally and the No. 15 player in Georgia. He's now the second edge rusher to commit to Clemson in the 2026 cycle, joining JR Hardrick. The Tigers now have 19 verbal pledges in a class currently ranked among the top five nationally by Rivals.

CLEMSON — Clemson football and coach Dabo Swinney landed their third defensive lineman in the 2026 recruiting class with the commitment of four-star edge rusher Dre Quinn. The 6-foot-4, 228-pounder from Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, Georgia, is rated the No. 29 player in the state by the 247Sports Composite rankings. Quinn recorded 42 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in his junior season with Buford, according to MaxPreps. Advertisement Quinn chose Clemson over Texas, announcing his commitment on On3Sports' YouTube channel on June 19. He is Clemson's 19th commitment in the 2026 class. He joins three-stars Kameron Cody and JR Hardrick as its defensive lineman commits. Swinney's 2026 class is ranked No. 6 nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. It has 13 four-star recruits and six three-stars commits. It is a complete change from last year's cycle that finished with 15 signees and ranked 26th nationally, which was Swinney's lowest-rated cycle since 2010 and his smallest class since 2017. Quinn is the second recruit from Georgia in the 2026 class to commit to the Tigers, joining Cody. He is also the seventh defensive player to commit to Clemson.
