Young (6-0, 175), ranked No. 141 nationally by Rivals.com, picked Clemson over Tennessee, Notre Dame, Oregon, Miami, Kentucky, South Carolina, Virginia Tech and others.

The NCAA contact period closed Wednesday, and Young capped the weeklong travel window by visiting Clemson with his parents and younger sister.

That sealed the deal, prompting Young to go ahead and make the move rather than waiting until his birthday Dec. 12 to choose his school, as planned.

He made his way twice to Tennessee at the start of the summer and also traveled to Virginia Tech. Miami attracted him last weekend, wherein he was offered.

Clemson has long been involved with Young.

He competed at the Dabo Swinney Camp before entering high school and was brought in for a game that fall. The Tigers then had him in town for their underclassmen day in the spring of 2023.

Young returned for the Florida State game last season.

He spent his freshman year at Webb School before transferring to Brentwood Academy as a sophomore. A return to Webb School occurred in the offseason.

Clemson also had to discern to what position Young profiled for college.

Receivers coach Tyler Grisham and safeties coach Mickey Conn were both engaged as the Tigers eyed him as a possible receiver or defensive back.

Corners coach Mike Reed was looped in during the spring, and Reed made him one of the Tigers' three opening corner offers in June.

Clemson isn't expected to be done at the position, and it's just gotten started for the 2026 class.

Young, of course, joins highly-regarded quarterback Tait Reynolds of Queen Creek (Ariz.) on Clemson's 2026 commit list.
