The 2022 recruiting class features many incoming freshman who fans will get their first look at on Saturday, in addition to rising players on the depth chart who replace outgoing stars. Clemson’s 2022 recruiting class ranked No. 13 in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, and ranked No. 2 in the ACC. The group is headlined by five-star quarterback Cade Klubnik, who enrolled early and has worked with the team this spring.

Clemson embraces NIL

As NIL continues to change the landscape across college athletics, universities and athletic departments are coming up with innovative ways to keep the pace. The Clemson Tigers just announced an innovative new NIL program, called ‘Reign.’

Clemson unveiled the new NIL program on Friday, and Director of Athletics Graham Neff believes that the introduction of ‘Reign’ was vital to help student athletes continue to evolve.

“We’ve talked for a while about our intent to become more aggressive in the NIL environment, and I feel that Reign. personifies that notion,” said Neff. “While many of these services have been available to our student-athletes since last year, our department has worked tirelessly to evolve our NIL philosophy. It’s critical that our student-athletes have the education and tools to succeed in this area, and that our coaches have a direct way to address the questions they receive on the recruiting trail. NIL is ever-changing, and we will continue to monitor, adapt and innovate.”

Ultimately, Clemson wants to ensure that its student athletes are in the best position possible to stay on pace with the rapidly changing landscape created by NIL. This program will help student athletes learn more about NIL, and put them in a position to take advantage of those opportunities.

As part of the program, Clemson will be constructing a new 12,000 square foot building that will be dedicated towards this new NIL program. The building will educate on NIL, and will include photo and video studios, office spaces, and media training areas. It will be located by the Poe Indoor Football Complex, per Clemson’s release.
