ESPN just re-released their 2023 recruiting rankings and Clemson comes in just outside the Top 10 at #11. They are #2 in the ACC behind #8 Miami.
Here’s what ESPN’s Craig Haubert wrote about Clemson’s 2023 class:
Trevor Lawrence set a high bar, and replacing him is not easy, but the Tigers continue to add talented options under center. They signed the No. 2 overall quarterback in the 2022 cycle in Cade Klubnik and now landed ESPN 300 signal-caller Vizzina, a strong-armed, accurate and poised passer. Four-star WR Noble Johnson is a nice-sized target who is capable of creating problems with good explosiveness and the ability to break tackles after the catch. In the trenches, the Tigers have secured some very good talent. Offensively, Harris Sewell was a great pickup out of Texas. He is a flexible big man with good mobility who is also a physical finisher and should develop into a strong asset to the Tigers’ ground attack. The Tigers have recruited very well along the defensive line under Dabo Swinney. Woods was a huge get out of Alabama powerhouse program Thompson. One of the most explosive and disruptive DLs in the class, he reminds us of current Clemson standout DL Tyler Davis. David Ojiegbe is a powerful player who can be tough versus the run, and Vic Burley was a big win on the recruiting trail, as he is a multisport athlete in high school with good explosiveness and upside. At linebacker, Jamal Anderson is a rangy defender who can be a sideline-to-sideline presence.
Other ACC teams in the top 40 of ESPN’s rankings are Louisville (No. 19), North Carolina (No. 21), Florida State (No. 25), Duke (No. 31), Pittsburgh (No. 35) and Boston College (No. 36).
Overall, the top 10 teams in ESPN’s latest 2023 recruiting class rankings, in order from Nos. 1-10, are Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas, Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia, Miami, Florida and Penn State.
