Clemson catcher Jacob Jarrell named a strength & conditioning All-American
Clemson catcher Jacob Jarrell named a strength & conditioning All-American Clemson leads the pack with five first-round picks in this 2026 NFL Mock Draft — Clemson Wire (@Clemson_Wire) June 16, 2025 Clemson catcher Jacob Jarrell has been recognized as a strength & conditioning All-American by the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA), a testament to both his physical development and leadership within the program. Jarrell becomes the sixth Clemson player since 2018 to earn the NSCA honor, joining an accomplished group that includes Ryley Gilliam (2018), Bryce Teodosio (2021), Geoffrey Gilbert (2022), Jackson Lindley (2023), and Blake Wright (2024). 'Jacob has consistently dedicated himself to his physical preparation since arriving at Clemson as a freshman three years ago,' said Rick Franzblau, Clemson's assistant athletic director for Olympic sports performance. 'He attacks every workout, warmup and sprint session with the same intensity and focus that he does as the starting catcher for the Tigers. 'Jacob is one of the strongest athletes on the team, demonstrated by his 500+ pound box squat and 500+ pound split deadlift. Jacob is one of few two-time captains in team history. His greatest contribution to the team has been the leadership that he has provided in the weight room and off the diamond. Whether it be firing up one of his teammates in the weight room or inviting one of the 'weight-gain guys' over for a steak dinner, he has exemplified the team credo of 'plant trees you will never see.'" Jarrell backed up his off-field presence with another productive year behind the plate in 2025. He finished the season with a team-high 15 home runs, batting .263 with 41 RBIs, 45 runs scored, a .515 slugging percentage, and a .387 on-base percentage across 59 games, including 57 starts. He was also the only player on the roster to record multiple multi-homer games this season. A two-time ACC Academic Honor Roll selection and member of the Buster Posey Award Watch List, Jarrell has put together a strong three-year career in a Clemson uniform. He enters the offseason with a career .255 average, 26 home runs, 15 doubles, 83 RBIs and 81 runs scored over 122 games, 110 of which he's started.

Social media reacts to Clemson taking down Georgia Tech to advance to the ACC Championship
Social media reacts to Clemson taking down Georgia Tech to advance to the ACC Championship The Tigers are headed back to the ACC Championship Game for the second time in three years after knocking off No. 1 seed Georgia Tech, 9–4, on Saturday in Durham. Jacob Jarrell launched a third-inning grand slam over the Blue Monster to flip an early 3–0 deficit, and Clemson never trailed again. That blast was Jarrell's 15th homer of the season — and it blew the game wide open. Collin Priest added a solo shot in the 9th for good measure, while Andrew Ciufo doubled twice and scored twice to keep Clemson rolling. Cam Cannarella and TP Wentworth also drove in runs in a well-rounded offensive effort. Talan Bell got the start on the mound, but it was Jacob McGovern who slammed the door, tossing four scoreless innings and retiring All-ACC slugger Drew Burress to end it. Clemson (44–15) has now won six straight and will play for its 12th ACC Tournament title Sunday at noon on ESPN2. The Tigers await the winner of Florida State vs. North Carolina. With the huge win came some big reactions. Here is how social media reacted to Clemson advancing to the ACC Championship.
