On Friday morning, four-star linebacker Logan Anderson from Fyffe, Alabama, committed to Dabo Swinney and Clemson, as announced by his high school head coach, Paul Benefield.
Benefield revealed Anderson’s decision during the high school’s football media day. Anderson is currently visiting the Clemson campus with other new Tiger recruits and later confirmed his commitment on his social media account. Clemson, led by Wes Goodwin, showed early interest in Anderson. This summer, other schools like Georgia, Ole Miss, and Auburn increased their pursuit, but Clemson managed to secure his commitment despite strong competition, including from Georgia’s Kirby Smart. Securing Anderson over the Bulldogs is seen as a significant achievement.
Although Anderson is a three-star recruit on 247Sports (ranked No. 52 LB, No. 27 in Alabama), he is rated as a four-star prospect on the 247Sports Composite (No. 40 LB, No. 19 in Alabama). In addition to his linebacker role, Anderson also plays running back at Fyffe, where he amassed 2,864 yards and 45 touchdowns last season, including 256 yards and four touchdowns in the Alabama 2A state championship. However, he is expected to focus solely on linebacker when he joins Clemson.
Last Saturday, four-star EDGE Bryce Davis committed to Clemson, ending a seven-week period without a new commitment for the Tigers. Clemson’s 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked No. 10 by 247Sports, with Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Notre Dame leading the top five. Clemson is hosting several prospects for the annual ‘All-In Cookout’ on Friday. Clemson247 has compiled a list of both committed and uncommitted attendees.
Clemson’s two-time national championship coach had a strong reaction to the recent news about changes affecting walk-on players due to a court settlement. “It’s a really sad thing to me,” Swinney commented Thursday at the ACC Kickoff.
Reports indicate that power conference commissioners, including ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, have agreed to shift from a “scholarship limit” system to a “roster limit” system starting in the 2025-26 season. This change is part of the settlement in the House vs. NCAA court case and is anticipated to be approved on Friday, according to The Athletic.
