One of Clemson’s newest targets has committed to the Tigers.

Three-star LB Brayden Reilly (St. Xavier, OH) announced the verbal pledge on Friday morning.

Reilly has locked in an official visit with the school and will be on hand after the bye week when the Tigers host Duke on November 1.

Reilly originally committed to Northwestern back in May, but decommitted earlier this week after offers from Clemson, Vanderbilt and Michigan.

The Tigers have been searching for a new LB target after missing on five-star Tyler Atkinson in the summer.

Through the first eight games of his senior season, Reilly has 51 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and one quarterback hurry. He has also been credited with two blocked punts and six passes defended.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound recruit becomes the 21st member of Clemson’s 2026 recruiting class and the first LB pledge.
