Clemson has landed a huge portal commitment.
Colorado transfer DE London Merrit has committed to Clemson while on campus for a visit.
Merritt just wrapped up his freshman campaign with the Buffaloes, earning PFF All-Freshman honors. He was also named Honorable Mention for Big 12 Freshman of the Year.
The 6-foot-3, 250-pound pass rusher appeared in all 12 games for Colorado in 2025, with one start. He finished with 25 total tackles, 14 unassisted tackles, eight tackles for loss, six quarterback hurries, and one sack. His eight tackles for loss were the second most by a freshman in the Big 12 and fourth in the NCAA for true freshmen, according to PFF.
The Tigers offered Merritt while he was in high school, and he had visited in the past. On3 ranked him No. 70 overall in the 2025 recruiting class and No. 13 among all edge rushers.
Merritt is the eighth portal addition for the Tigers, with all of them coming on the defensive side of the ball. He is also the first take at defensive end.
On3 ranks Merritt as the 154th best transfer in the portal and No. 20 among edge rushers.
