The 2026 NFL Draft was a record-tying draft for Clemson Football.
With nine total selections, Clemson matched its school record for a seven-round draft and came within one pick of the overall school record of 10 from the 12-round draft in 1983. The 2026 class tied the Tigers’ 2016 class for the most picks in the modern NFL Draft.
Clemson’s nine selections tied for the most in the ACC and tied for fourth nationally. All nine of Clemson’s selections came in the first five rounds, and the Tigers’ nine selections tied Ohio State for the most across Rounds 1-5.
The nine selections in those five rounds shattered Clemson’s record for the first five rounds of a draft, surpassing its previous mark of six.
This year’s draft also marked the first time in history Clemson had at least one player selected in each of the first five rounds of a single draft.
