Social media reacts to Clemson landing 4-star wide receiver Gordon Sellars
Clemson's 2026 recruiting class just got another boost with the addition of a top offensive target.
Four-star wide receiver Gordon Sellars out of Providence Day School (Charlotte, NC) gave his verbal pledge to the Tigers on Friday during an emotional ceremony at his high school. He chose Clemson over a list of finalists that included South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina A&T.
Sellars has been a top Clemson target since the Tigers offered him last September during an unofficial visit. He returned for the rivalry game against South Carolina, took part in the Elite Retreat last month, and was back in town again for the spring game two weeks ago. Other spring visits included trips to Ohio State, Michigan, and South Carolina, along with a stop at Notre Dame on Tuesday after the Irish extended an offer last week.
Recruiting services are high on the 6-foot-2 wideout. ESPN gives him his highest mark, ranking him No. 144 overall and No. 25 at his position. He's also the No. 9 player in North Carolina. The 247Sports Composite ranks Sellars as the No. 207 national prospect and No. 31 wide receiver, while On3's Industry Ranking puts him at No. 227 overall.
Sellars is the 14th commitment in Clemson's 2026 class, which continues to sit comfortably inside the Top 5 nationally. He's the third wide receiver in the group, joining fellow four-stars Naeem Burroughs and Connor Salmin, who both committed during the Elite Retreat weekend. Sellars is expected to be the final wideout take in this cycle.
Here is how social media reacted to Sellars committing to Clemson:

Top Clemson baseball roster hopeful for 2026 officially signs with MLB team
One of Clemson baseball's biggest roster hopefuls for 2026 has signed a professional contract. As expected, All-American outfielder Ryan Wideman signed with the San Diego Padres late Wednesday night. The Padres selected Wideman in the third round of the MLB draft earlier this month. The son of former Clemson basketball player Tom Wideman, Ryan Wideman was one of the top players in the transfer portal following his junior season this summer and transferred to the Tigers on June 11. His chances of being drafted and forgoing his senior season were always a threat, but being taken No. 99 overall with an estimated pick value of $773,000 made his signing feel pretty inevitable. Wideman played in all 60 games last season at Western Kentucky and hit .398 with 10 home runs, 36 extra base hits, and 68 RBIs. He also stole 45 bases in 47 attempts as a top-of-the-order threat. Clemson signee Dax Kilby, an 18-year-old shortstop from Newnan High School in Georgia, was another player the Tigers hoped to have on their 2026 roster that was taken early in MLB's draft. The New York Yankees drafted Kilby in the first round with the No. 39 overall pick and formally announced his signing on July 18. Clemson finished 45-18 overall last season and was the No. 11 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers made their third straight regional appearance under coach Erik Bakich, but the program's College World Series drought officially reached 15 years since their last appearance in 2010.

Top Notre Dame 2027 wide reciever target takes notice of Teddy Jarrard's commitment
When elite Class of 2027 quarterback Teddy Jarrard pledged to Notre Dame on Thursday, many college football observers took notice. And that includes Fighting Irish wide receiver target Antayvious Ellis, a fellow member of the 2027 class. Irish head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff have been able to put together a monster 2026 haul, so it is no surprise that the momentum has kept rolling as they start to assemble their 2027 class. The addition of Jarrard, a four-star North Cobb (Kennesaw, GA) prospect, was massive, as he chose the Irish over Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan and Penn State. Could Ellis, a Crowley product (Crowley, TX), be next? ND has very good recent history with Lone Star State wideouts, including Jaden Greathouse, who is poised for a breakout 2025 campaign. And the 2026 class includes Kaydon Finley and Brayden Robinson. Ellis is a four-star prospect and the No. 40 player in the state of Texas, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He has offers from several major powers besides Notre Dame, including Texas, Oregon and USC, among several others. The 6-foot, 175-pounder had 55 receptions for 794 yards and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore last season.
