When it comes to one of Clemson’s top defensive end targets, the writing was on the wall.
Five-star EDGE DJ Jacobs (Blessed Trinity, GA) had been trending away from the Tigers for quite some time, with Miami, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Oregon as schools emerging as the contenders.
Late on Monday, Jacobs made it official, announcing a commitment to the Buckeyes.
Jacobs racked up 102 tackles as a junior, with 24 tackles for loss, 16 sacks and two forced fumbles. He is currently ranked as the top player in the 2027 class regardless of position, per 247Sports.
