As Clemson continues to reload its talent across the board for the 2026 recruiting class, the Tigers' wide receiver room is already stacked with playmakers. With nine wide receivers currently on the roster, the coaching staff knows it’s time to look to the future and build on its tradition of developing elite talent at the position. To that end, Clemson has already extended offers to several top-tier wide receiver prospects for the 2026 class, each bringing their own unique blend of size, speed, and playmaking ability to the table.
Let’s take a look at the wideouts who have earned a Clemson offer and are shaping up to be key pieces of the Tigers' offense in the coming years.
Cederian Morgan
Position: Wide ReceiverHeight: 6-4Weight: 210High School: Benjamin RussellCity: Alexander City, AL
Clemson’s first wide receiver offer for the 2026 class went to Cederian Morgan, a multi-sport athlete who excels not only in football but also in basketball and track & field. At 6'4" and 210 pounds, Morgan is a physically imposing figure with the ability to make plays all over the field. His versatility, coupled with his size and athleticism, makes him a prime target for programs across the country, and Clemson is among the top schools vying for his commitment. Morgan has received 21 offers, including from powerhouse programs such as Alabama, Auburn, and Ohio State, and he’s being pursued by several schools as one of the top wide receiver prospects in the nation.
With predictions pointing to a tight race between Alabama, Auburn, and Ohio State, Morgan’s decision will likely come down to which program can best showcase its ability to develop big-bodied receivers into future NFL stars. Clemson has been strong in this area, and Morgan’s recruitment will certainly be one to watch.
Devin Carter

At 6'0.5" and 175 pounds, Devin Carter brings a blend of speed and skill that has made him one of the top wide receiver targets for Clemson in the 2026 class. Having played at Cedar Grove High School before transferring to Douglas County for his junior season, Carter has had to adjust to new systems and environments—but that hasn’t slowed his development. His ability to stretch the field with his speed, combined with his natural ball skills, has earned him a spot among the nation’s elite wide receivers.
With 34 offers, Carter is a highly coveted prospect, and he has already made it clear that Clemson is in the mix for his services. His performance in track, which has further improved his agility and speed, only adds to his appeal. As one of the top wide receiver prospects from Georgia, Carter has the potential to make a huge impact on whichever program he chooses.
Connor Salmin
Position: Wide ReceiverHeight: 6-1Weight: 190High School: WoodgroveCity: Purcellville, VA
Another standout that has earned a Clemson offer is Connor Salmin, a versatile wide receiver from Purcellville, VA. At 6'1" and 190 pounds, Salmin brings a balanced skill set that includes physicality, good route-running, and the ability to go up and get the ball at the catch point. His ability to create separation and win contested catches makes him a dangerous threat in any offense.
Clemson extended its offer to Salmin on June 8, 2024, joining a list of schools eager to land the talented wideout. With a solid foundation of 247Sports ranking him as the No. 145 player nationally, Salmin is starting to attract major interest from top-tier programs. His competitive nature and ability to play in both the passing and return games will certainly make him a coveted prospect for Clemson and other elite programs.
Naeem Burroughs

Naeem Burroughs is a dynamic wide receiver out of Jacksonville, FL, who has already proven his worth on the track and the field. At 5'11" and 160 pounds, Burroughs is known for his speed and quickness, and his ability to stretch the field with explosive plays. As a member of a 4x100 team that captured a gold medal at the FHSAA 2A meet during his freshman season, Burroughs has already showcased elite acceleration and long-speed that translates perfectly to the wide receiver position.
Clemson made their offer to Burroughs on June 4, 2024, and it didn’t take long for the talented receiver to gain attention from other major programs like Florida and Alabama. Burroughs’ playmaking ability and track background make him a prime candidate to add to Clemson’s ever-growing receiver room. His speed and elusiveness could be a game-changer in Clemson’s system.

With 16 offers to date, including offers from in-state rival South Carolina, North Carolina, Appalachian State, and Charlotte, Sellars has the opportunity to be a key part of Clemson’s wide receiver future.
