Clemson has made the final cut for one of its top targets out west.

2026 four-star SF Dean Rueckert (Timpview, Provo, UT) announced his five finalists on Thursday, with Clemson, BYU, Utah, Stanford and Washington all making the cut.

The Tigers just offered Rueckert last month.

Last season, the 6-foot-6 Rueckert averaged 18.1 points per game, adding 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per contest.

Rueckert ranks No. 62 overall in the Composite Rankings and No. 24 among all players at his position.
