The Tigers enter 2026 with new offensive coordinator Chad Morris.

Dabo Swinney faces the most dramatic OL rebuild in Clemson history — all four senior OL starters departed (including AFCA All-American Walker Parks at 166 score, the 3rd-highest OL score nationally). LB Sammy Brown (139, AP All-American) and DL Will Heldt (115, All-ACC 3rd) anchor an elite defense. QB Christopher Vizzina enters year two as starter. The replacement OL (Sadler 75, Cardone 69, Thurmon 52, Reed 52) averages 44% of the departed group's production — Clemson's 2026 ceiling depends entirely on how fast these young linemen develop.
