Clemson’s 2026 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the program’s most exciting in recent years. With several key positions already bolstered by elite talent, it’s clear that Dabo Swinney and his staff are building a championship-caliber class from the ground up. Among the most crucial pieces of the puzzle are two quarterbacks who have already verbally committed to the Tigers: Tait Reynolds and Brock Bradley. Both players offer different skill sets but share the common goal of leading the Tigers to greatness.
With their early commitments, Clemson has set the tone for what promises to be an electric 2026 class, one that will help the program maintain its status among the nation’s elite. Here’s a look at the quarterbacks who are set to lead the charge for the Tigers in the coming years. Tait Reynolds: The Arizona Gunslinger
Standing at 6’2″ and weighing 210 pounds, Tait Reynolds is a physical specimen at the quarterback position. Hailing from Queen Creek, Arizona, Reynolds committed to Clemson on July 7, 2024, after a dominant sophomore season at Queen Creek High School. His commitment was a major win for the Tigers, and it quickly became apparent why coaches across the country were vying for his services. Reynolds is rated as a 247Sports Composite 0.9029 recruit, ranking as the No. 265 player nationally and No. 30 quarterback in his class.
His skill set is multifaceted: a cannon for an arm, an ability to read defenses, and a quiet confidence that exudes leadership. What sets Reynolds apart is his blend of raw talent and football IQ. His deep ball accuracy, combined with his ability to make quick decisions under pressure, makes him a natural fit for Clemson’s fast-paced, high-powered offense.
