The pledge boosts Clemson’s 2027 recruiting class by adding a high-upside edge prospect projected to play a 5-technique or 4i on the defensive line.

Overview

  • Harvey, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound four-star from Lakeland, Florida, announced his commitment to Clemson on Friday after an official visit and picked the Tigers over offers from Notre Dame, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Colorado.
  • Rivals’ Industry Ranking lists him No. 327 overall and No. 32 among 2027 edge prospects while 247Sports’ evaluations give him a strong upside and a 90 composite score.
  • Scouts praise his junior-year production of 20 tackles for loss and 12 sacks and project him as a wiry, powerful pass rusher who could fit as a 5-tech or 4i but who needs work on pad level, technique and flexibility.
  • His decision is Clemson’s second commitment during the official-visit weekend, pushes the class to 15 verbal pledges and helps the Tigers sit No. 15 in Rivals’ team rankings and No. 2 in the ACC.
  • The pickup continues Clemson’s late-May recruiting surge as the staff looks to rebuild depth after a 7-6 season and gives the program a developmental defensive lineman to groom under Dabo Swinney’s system.
