Clemson lands another big wide receiver commitment in 4-star Gordon Sellars
Clemson continues to build momentum on the 2026 recruiting trail, picking up another highly regarded playmaker for its future offense.
Four-star wide receiver Gordon Sellars, a standout at Providence Day School in Charlotte, announced his commitment to the Tigers on Friday during a heartfelt ceremony at his high school. He chose Clemson over South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina A&T.
Sellars' highest ranking comes from ESPN, which lists him at No. 144 overall and No. 25 among wide receivers. He's also ranked No. 9 in North Carolina. In the 247Sports Composite, he comes in as the No. 207 national prospect and No. 31 wide receiver. On3's Industry Ranking puts him at No. 227 nationally.
Clemson has been in pursuit of the 6-foot-2 receiver since offering him last September following an unofficial visit. He returned to campus for the South Carolina game in the fall, took part in the Elite Retreat last month, and was back again for the spring game two weeks ago.
His spring visits also included stops at Ohio State, Michigan, and South Carolina. Most recently, he visited Notre Dame on Tuesday, just days after receiving an offer from the Fighting Irish.
Sellars becomes the 14th commitment in Clemson's 2026 class, which remains firmly inside the Top 5 nationally. He's the third wide receiver in the group, joining fellow four-stars Naeem Burroughs and Connor Salmin—both of whom committed during the Elite Retreat weekend—and is expected to be the last receiver take this cycle.

LaNorris Sellers: Preseason scouting report on the electric South Carolina QB
The athleticism and natural tools jump off the screen with Sellers, but he's far from polished as a passer. Listed at 6'3', 240 pounds, Sellers is a brickhouse that's tough to bring down in the pocket. He has twitchy feet, excellent balance to bounce off contact, and borderline excellent strength to shrug off defenders. However, his pocket awareness and ball security need improvement. He'll also need to be better at staying calm when the pocket squeezes around him. Sellers is below average as a passer. He consistently favored shorter throws on film and was hesitant to let it rip downfield or over the middle. There were fewer play actions or longer-developing route concepts in South Carolina's repertoire last year, but he wasn't quick to pull the trigger when those plays came up. Check out my full LaNorris Sellers preseason report and grade on my Substack. That said, there were excellent flashes when he stood tall in the pocket and delivered throws from a solid base. His arm strength is just average, but the bigger concern is his accuracy. Sellers was inconsistent at all levels, and his sloppy mechanics hurt his ball placement. He's frustrating to watch because he struggles to throw into tighter windows, and typically bails before routes naturally come open. Sellers was very much a 'see it, throw it' guy last year, reading half the field before taking off. His limited play time showed most in this area. Luckily, his legs are a legitimate NFL-ready weapon. He's an exceptional athlete with toughness to break through contact and good hip wiggle to make defenders miss in space. Sellers has homerun speed and is borderline unstoppable once he gets rolling (Hello Clemson). Sellers is a young, exciting QB with a ton of upside given his size, toughness, and running ability. However, he needs a lot of development as a passer.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: AK Dear
Part of a loaded Alabama Crimson Tide running back room, could true freshman AK Dear make an impact as early as this season? A player new to the Crimson Tide this season, Dear comes to Tuscaloosa as a member of Alabama's 2025 recruiting class where he was among the highest-rated prospects in the group overall. Dear was also considered among the nation's top high school prospects a year ago at his position, and now looks at a potential breakout campaign in year one at Alabama. Let's take a look at everything you need to know about the debut season for AK Dear at Alabama this fall. AK Dear player information AK Dear career stats This will be the first season for Dear at the collegiate level. Dear has yet to compile any stats collegiately. AK Dear 2024 stats As for Dear's stats a year ago, the freshman running back is coming off an impressive conclusion to his prep career a year ago at Mississippi's Quitman High School. Across nine games, Dear played multiple roles offensively which included 1,081 yards and six touchdowns rushing over 151 attempts, as well as four more scores as both a passer and receiver. AK Dear recruiting ranking According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Dear was considered as the nation's No. 53 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, as well as the No. 2 running back nationally. A four-star recruit who committed to Alabama in Aug. 2024, Dear also ranked as the No. 3 player in the state of Mississippi where he attended Quitman High School. AK Dear 2025 season outlook With his exact role likely unsure at the moment, it feels like how much we see of Dear in 2025 could be an unknown. A highly-touted prospect, Dear joins a deep Alabama running back room that returns starter Jam Miller and notable backup Richard Young, while also having added transfer Dre Washington, who also has significant experience. As a result of this, those three names could be among Alabama's top options at the position, while Dear is alongside the group of others who are potential set to emerge. Overall, expect Dear to see some action in 2025 offensively, as well as potentially on special teams, and for the true freshman to likely play a depth role this fall who could possibly emerge later in the year.
