Clemson has work to do with one of the state’s top players for 2026.
Running back Jaylen McGill (5-10 200) is a 4-star prospect out Spartanburg (SC) Mountain View Prep who has been on the recruiting radar for a while. The in-state Gamecocks were his big offer previously, an offer that materialized when McGill was at Broome High School in May of 2023.
Since then, his stock has soared and his offer list now includes Clemson, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Florida State and Rutgers.
He also changed high schools in the offseason and now plays for the fledgling Mountain View Prep program, which has jumped out to a 3-0 start on the season.
