Using the transfer site, the Tigers added four new players. According to 247 Sports, Viktor Lakhin has the highest ranking among the newcomers. For Cincinnati, the 6’9″ centre led the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and field goal %. Three true freshmen, Dallas Thomas, Ace Buckner, and Del Jones, are also added to the Clemson team. Who is returning, though, might be the biggest difference.

Clemson has extended an offer to a new receiver for the 2025 class and received two crystal balls for the player.
Dillon Alfred, a four-star wide receiver from Saraland, Alabama, announced on social media Monday night that he received an offer from the Tigers.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound rising senior recently showcased his skills to Clemson’s coaching staff at the Dabo Swinney Camp. Previously committed to Ole Miss since April, Alfred decided to reopen his recruitment by decommitting from the Rebels on Monday.
In addition to his participation in the camp earlier this month, Alfred visited Clemson’s campus in March for a spring practice, which significantly heightened his interest in the program. The Tigers jumped right on the opportunity to offer the highly touted recruit.
Alfred is ranked No. 54 among wide receivers and No. 237 overall in the 2025 class, per 247Sports. Both of the crystal ball forecasts for this one came true on the day of his offer, so keep an eye on it.
