Clemson Finishes Third in 2021 Recruiting Rankings

The 2021 Clemson recruiting class finishes ranked third in the final SI-All American team recruiting rankings.

Signing Day has come and gone and while Clemson had no late surprises, the Tigers still managed to secure one of the best classes in the nation. 

SI-All American has released their final team rankings for the 2021 recruiting cycle and the usual suspects can be found at the top of the list. 

Alabama finished with the top-ranked class, with Ohio State coming in at No. 2 and Clemson coming in at No. 3. Georgia and LSU round out the top-five. 

"I'll never forget this class, ever," Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said on early signing day. "The pandemic posse is what I call them. Because this is the most unique recruiting class that we've had to sign and the most unique recruiting experience that any of us have had."
