Ready-made playmakers: Clemson's 2021 class is solid, top to bottom

Clemson's 2021 recruiting class announced Wednesday might have lacked the star power of having three of the nation’s top ten players like the 2020 class had, but it more than made it for it and top-to-bottom consistency and ready-made playmakers.

A total of 18 players had National Letters of Intent signings to play football at Clemson announced Wednesday. The early signing period will conclude on Friday, Dec. 18, prior to National Signing Day on Feb. 3, 2021.

Clemson’s class ranks No. 5 according to ESPN, No. 5 according to 247Sports and No. 6 according to Rivals. Entering this recruiting cycle, Clemson's recruiting classes had finished in the top 15 of at least one of three primary recruiting services (ESPN, Rivals and 247 Sports) every year since 2011.
