Blue-Chip DE Sets Official Visit to Clemson, Commitment Date

We can now add a new name to the visitors list for Clemson’s big official visit weekend.

Four-star DE Zavion Griffin-Haynes (Rolesville, NC) announced his four finalists on Thursday and plans to give each an official visit.

Official Visit Schedule

  • Clemson: May 30
  • Michigan: June 6
  • Nebraska: June 13
  • Florida State: June 20

Griffin-Haynes then plans to announce a commitment on July 1.

While he has yet to go public with an offer, Griffin-Haynes has visited Clemson in the past, and that is just a formality at this point.

This now gives Clemson three defensive ends visiting campus that weekend. Griffin-Haynes joins four-star Dre Quinn and three-star JR Hardrick. The Tigers have yet to secure a commitment from a player at the position in the 2026 class. Griffin-Haynes originally announced a Top 11 in March that did not include Clemson.

Rivals ranks the 6-foot-6, 235-pound recruit No. 169 overall and No. 17 among all edge rushers.
