Clemson adds Colorado transfer London Merritt, continuing a defense-only portal push that signals urgency up front entering 2026.
Clemson continued its defense-heavy transfer portal push Thursday, landing former Colorado edge rusher London Merritt and further signaling how aggressively the Tigers are reshaping their front.
The commitment gives Clemson another young, high-upside pass rusher and marks the program’s eighth portal addition since the window opened—every one of them on the defensive side of the ball.
Why Merritt fits Clemson’s plan
Merritt arrives from the Colorado Buffaloes after a productive freshman season in 2025.
