5-Star QB DJ Uiagalelei Commits to Clemson

His last name is pronounced eww-ee-unnga-lay-lei and he’s the crown jewel of Clemson’s 2020 recruiting class.

DJ Uiagalelei caused Tiger fans nationwide to rejoice by making his commitment known on Sunday, spurning primary competitor Oregon in the process. The 5-star stud from St. John Bosco in Bellflower, California measures in at 6-4, 240 pounds and is the #1 ranked QB in the 2020 class. He is the #13 player overall per the 247Sports Composite despite being criminally underrated by the ESPN scouts. Regardless, due to position, he is the most impactful recruit in this class. His junior year accolades included First Team All-America by Max Preps and USA Today.
