A longtime NFL draft analyst recently unveiled his ranking of the top prospects in this year’s draft class.

NFL Network draft guru and former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah ranked his top 50 draft-eligible prospects for the 2026 draft, and five Clemson players made the list, led by offensive tackle Blake Miller at No. 23 overall.

Jeremiah is very high on Miller, who broke the Clemson record for career snaps from scrimmage, playing 3,778 offensive snaps over 54 career games (all starts) from 2022-25.

A hard-nosed iron man, Miller started every game Clemson played in his entire four-year career and also set the Clemson record for consecutive starts by a non-specialist with 54. He followed his 2022 freshman All-American season with three consecutive All-ACC seasons and joined Mitch Hyatt (four), Jeb Flesch (three) and Tyrone Crowder (three) as the fourth offensive lineman in school history to be a three-time All-ACC honoree.

“Miller lined up at right tackle for the Tigers. A high school wrestler, the iron man started 54 games at Clemson,” Jeremiah wrote. “He has ideal size, length and strength for the position. In pass protection, he has enough quickness to cover up speed rushers off the edge. He uses his length and strong hands to latch and control defenders. He can sink his weight and anchor down against power rushers. He plays with awareness to pick up twists and stunts. In the run game, he can generate movement on down blocks and he always strains to finish. When working up to linebackers, he’s effective on a single track but struggles to redirect and wall off defenders in space. Overall, Miller has the ideal profile for a starting NFL right tackle.”

The next Clemson player in Jeremiah’s ranking is cornerback Avieon Terrell, who comes in at No. 30.

A 2025 All-American and Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist, Terrell was credited with 128 tackles (9.0 for loss), 30 pass breakups, three interceptions, 4.0 sacks, eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across 39 games (31 starts) in his career as a Tiger from 2023-25. The two-time All-ACC selection set Clemson records for a defensive back in forced fumbles in a season (five in 2025) and a career (eight from 2023-25), and he led all cornerbacks nationally in forced fumbles across his three-year Clemson career.

“Terrell is an undersized cornerback with tremendous quickness and instincts,” Jeremiah wrote. “He projects best as a nickel at the next level. I love his feisty, competitive play style. He utilizes his quick feet and smooth change of direction to match up in the slot. He stays in position with great movement skills and body control. He has excellent eyes and closing speed in underneath zone coverage. He isn’t as effective on the outside, where his lack of size shows up on go balls, and he’ll get walled off on slants by bigger-bodied receivers. He is very aggressive to fill vs. the run game. He is also a stellar blitzer (SEE: the Georgia Tech game, where he runs over a tight end to make a TFL/forced fumble). He’s always talking and provides energy on the field. Overall, this is an ideal nickel starter on Day 1.”

Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods isn’t far behind Terrell on Jeremiah’s list, with Woods checking in at No. 34.

Woods was credited with 99 tackles (14.5 for loss), 5.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and two pass breakups over 35 games (24 starts) in his Clemson career from 2023-25. He was a freshman All-American in 2023, and in 2025, he became Clemson’s first All-American at defensive tackle since Christian Wilkins’ unanimous selection in 2018. Woods was the only player in America in 2025 to record multiple games with both a sack and a rushing touchdown.

“Woods is a thick, square DT prospect with fabulous quickness and violent hands,” Jeremiah wrote. “As a run defender, he can hold the point of attack when blockers are lined up over his nose. He uses his leverage and lower-body strength to absorb blocks and hold his ground. He has lateral range to make plays outside the tackle box, and I applaud his effort to chase downfield. He does struggle when facing down blocks, as he can get wiped down the line of scrimmage. As a pass rusher, his lack of length is an issue at times. He lets blockers get into his chest and stall his charge. When he can land his hands first, he pushes the pocket. He also flashes a nasty club/rip move. Overall, Woods isn’t a steady/consistent player game in and game out, but his flashes are very intriguing.”

Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams is ranked two spots behind Woods at No. 36.

A two-time All-ACC selection, Williams tallied 2,336 yards and 21 touchdowns on 208 career receptions in 43 games (38 starts) from 2022-25. In 2025, Williams became the fifth player in Clemson history to record 200 career receptions. The Irmo, S.C., native completed his career ranked fourth in career receptions and also leaves Clemson tied for the fourth-most touchdown receptions in school history. He became the 17th player in Clemson history to reach 2,000 career receiving yards and recorded a catch in each of his first 33 career games at Clemson, the seventh-longest streak in school history.

“Williams is a slightly undersized slot receiver,” Jeremiah wrote. “He has outstanding short-area quickness, ball skills and run-after-catch ability. He explodes off the ball with quick, choppy steps, setting up defenders and creating separation out of the break point. He’s very twitchy and excels on pivot routes because of his stop/start skills. He has a good feel for settling in zones and presents a good target to his quarterback. He plays much bigger than his size when the ball is in the air. He can elevate and play above the rim. He’s very competitive in all areas of his game. Overall, Williams is an ideal slot receiver with the upside to be a high-volume pass catcher at the next level.”

Rounding out the Clemson players in Jeremiah’s ranking is defensive end T.J. Parker at No. 38.

A 2023 freshman All-American and 2024 All-ACC selection, Parker piled up 144 tackles (41.5 for loss), 21.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and five pass breakups over 39 games (29 starts) in his Clemson career from 2023-25. He leaves Tigertown ranked 10th in career sacks and tied for fourth in career fumble recoveries, and he set the Clemson record for forced fumbles in a single season with six in 2024.

“Parker is an intriguing edge rusher with the versatility to slide inside,” Jeremiah wrote. “He had a monster 2024 campaign (11 sacks) but saw his production drop off this past season (five sacks). He is a rugged pass rusher with a powerful shake/bull move coming off the edge. He can jolt blockers with his hands before separating and closing the distance with the quarterback. He doesn’t have an elite burst when rushing outside, but his quickness plays better when he rushes inside. Against the run, he can generate knock-back power at the point of attack and he’s adept at keeping opponents’ hands off his frame. Overall, Parker wasn’t quite as impactful in 2025, which ultimately could lead to a real value selection for his drafting team.”

The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.

Jeremiah also recently released his first 2026 NFL mock draft, which projects three Tigers (Terrell, Miller, Woods) to be selected in the first round.
