Clemson Lands Top DB for 2027 Class

Clemson just landed a big four-star defensive back, Jayden Aparicio-Bailey, who chose them over Georgia, Auburn, and South Carolina. His commitment boosts Clemson to 11 on 247Sports and 15 on On3, and he’s now the 24th commit for the 2027 class—projected to play safety but likely to start at cornerback. This move strengthens an already deep DB corps and adds to a recruiting surge: 17 new commits since mid-May. With ESPN already praising the class’s depth—including QB Kharim Hughley and OL J.J. Brown—the Tigers are building a future powerhouse, and the coaching staff is still on the hunt for more talent before the class officially locks in.
