The Clemson Tigers landed their first commitment of the cycle Monday, as Elliot Washington II, a transfer defensive back from Penn State Nittany Lions, announced his pledge to the Tigers following a weekend visit to campus.

Washington spent three seasons at Penn State and played under current Clemson defensive coordinator Tom Allen during the 2024 season, giving him familiarity with the system Clemson is installing on the back end.
