As early signing day quickly approaches, Clemson is currently waiting on decisions from two offered targets.

One of those is three-star CB Julian Peterson (Winslow Township, NJ), a former Penn State commit. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound defensive back is fresh off an official visit to Clemson.

Peterson arrived late on Saturday, after the Tigers returned from Louisville, and stayed through Monday. It was the final official visit Peterson had scheduled. He’s also taken officials to Wisconsin and North Carolina.

Peterson originally committed to Penn State in January. After James Franklin was fired, Peterson decommitted and almost instantly picked up offers from the Tigers, Badgers and Tar Heels. With Franklin being hired at Virginia Tech, the Hokies have also tried to get in late.

With all of his visits taken, next comes a decision, with Peterson being expected to sign during the early signing period, which begins on December 3. Whether or not he announces before signing day is yet to be determined, although he has discussed possibly going public with a commitment as early as the end of this week.

Clemson already has two corners committed in the 2026 class in three-star prospects Shavar Young Jr. and Marcell Gipson, and has actively been looking to add a third. Landing Peterson would give the Tigers something they don’t have in either Young or Gipson, and that is more length. At 6-foot-2, Peterson is two inches taller than both Young and Gipson.

The only other 2026 recruit currently on the radar is three-star in-state DE Michael Foster (Indianland), who is currently committed to ECU. Foster just picked up an offer from Clemson about two weeks ago and is a player who could potentially take his recruitment beyond the early signing period, electing to put pen to paper on the later signing day in February.
