Stancil recorded 63 tackles, including nine sacks, and three forced fumbles in his junior year to help his school have a 10-2 record, according to MaxPreps.

It is a complete change from last year’s cycle that finished with 15 signees and ranked 26th nationally, which was Swinney’s lowest-rated cycle since 2010 and his smallest class since 2017.
Stancil is the third recruit from North Carolina in the 2026 class to commit to the Tigers, joining four-stars Leo Delaney and wide receiver Gordon Sellars. Stancil is also the eighth defensive player to commit to Clemson.
