A big decision from a prized five-star recruit in the 2026 recruiting class has the Clemson Tigers and other schools playing the waiting game.
Five-star EDGE Bryce Perry-Wright is set to announce his commitment Saturday at 5 p.m. ET. A 6-foot-2, 250-pound defensive lineman out of Buford High School in Georgia, Perry-Wright has long been viewed as a favorite to sign with Clemson.
But a late push from Texas A&M and second-year coach Mike Elko this week has added some last-minute drama and could throw a wrench into the Tigers’ hopes.
On Wednesday, On3/Rivals recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong logged a prediction that the Peach State star would sign with Texas A&M.
On Friday, though, Rivals’ Texas-based recruiting analyst Cody Carpentier gave a different projection. In his updated “FUTURECAST” outlook, Carpentier has Perry-Wright committing to Clemson.
The Texas Longhorns and Clemson’s ACC rival Miami Hurricanes are also in the mix for Perry-Wright, who ranks as the No. 32 overall recruit in 247Sports’ 2026 recruiting class rankings. He is the nation’s No. 2 defensive lineman in 247Sports’ rankings, while On3 ranks him the No. 5 lineman and No. 33 overall recruit.
Perry-Wright is the No. 5 overall player in the state of Georgia, per 247Sports, which gave him a crystal ball projection to commit to Clemson back on May 29 before Texas A&M began making its push.
Perry-Wright’s commitment ceremony will be streamed live on CBS Sports HQ and YouTube Saturday.
