Clemson missed making the final group for one of the country’s best players in the class of 2024.

Five-star Buford (GA) safety KJ Bolden left the Tigers out of his top-five on Sunday morning. The 6-foot, 185-pound defender is ranked as high as the No. 6 overall recruit and the No. 1 player at his position at the class of 2024.

While the Tigers missed the cut, Bolden included Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia and Ohio State in his top five. He also set a commitment date of August 5.

Bolden took his official visit to Clemson in early June.

We are excited to announce our second annual Dear Old Clemson event for the freshmen football class.  Come out on July 22 at 10 AM at the indoor football facility for a meet and greet autograph session with the scholarship freshmen from the 2023 class.  Clemson coordinators Garrett Riley and Wes Goodwin will be attendance and speak at the event.
