After transferring to Clemson and enjoying an outstanding first season with the Tigers in 2025, Will Heldt has continued to be highly productive and disruptive during his senior 2026 campaign.
The star edge rusher garnered a shoutout in ESPN’s 2027 NFL Draft intel article following another standout performance in Week 9 of the college football season.
After accruing seven tackles (2.5 for loss) and a sack in last Saturday’s 36-24 victory at Florida State, Heldt drew praise from longtime ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr.
Kiper praised Heldt for his consistent production and polished pass-rush skills.
