I can't remember the last time that position group rankings were this favorable to Clemson football, but it feels like every single major publication is buying stock in the Tigers this season.
Clemson has been labeled a serious national title contender by everyone from Joel Klatt to Paul Finebaum (no, that's not a typo). They've been regarded as having the nation's top defensive line as well as the No. 1 quarterback in college football. Everyone has been singing the praises of this team heading into the season, and Athlon Sports just jumped onto the bandwagon.
Athlon ranked its top 25 receiving corps in the nation heading into the 2025 season and Clemson came in near the top.
