Clemson Tigers NFL Draft Prospects

Clemson finished 7-6 (4-4 ACC) in 2025, a jarring collapse for a team that returned nearly everyone from its 2024 ACC championship and College Football Playoff roster. The Tigers stumbled to a 3-5 start and limped home, saddling Dabo Swinney with his worst record since 2010. Swinney answered with multiple staff changes and the most aggressive use of the transfer portal of his tenure, importing seven new players onto the defensive two-deep alone. Chad Morris returns for a second stint as offensive coordinator, reviving a partnership that produced big numbers from 2011 through 2014, while second-year defensive coordinator Tom Allen tries to steady a unit that lost seven starters to the draft and the portal. The defining gamble sits at quarterback, where Swinney stuck with a developmental passer rather than chase a proven transfer. This has the feel of a prove-it season for a program at a crossroads.
