With the 2025 NFL season now behind us and the offseason underway, Dane Brugler — a national writer for The Athletic covering the NFL Draft — updated his rankings of the top 100 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class, based on 2025 game tape and recent college all-star games.
Five Clemson draft prospects made Brugler’s top 100, led by cornerback Avieon Terrell at No. 18.
A 2025 All-American and Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist, Terrell was credited with 128 tackles (nine for loss), 30 pass breakups, three interceptions, four sacks, eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across 39 games (31 starts) in his career as a Tiger from 2023-25.
