Welcome to early signing day.

As Clemson prepares for the Dec. 29 Gator Bowl against Kentucky, coach Dabo Swinney and his program will take a break to celebrate the next group of incoming Tigers on Wednesday.

Clemson finished Wednesday with 22 verbal commitments in its recruiting Class of 2024. The group includes 13 four- or five-star recruits and ranks third in the ACC and No. 13 nationally in the 247Sports Composite team rankings.

Top players in the class include five-star Jefferson (Ga.) linebacker Sammy Brown, five-star Midlothian (Tex.) receiver Bryant Wesco and four-star Marian Central Catholic (Ill.) tight end Christian Bentancur.

The Tigers also added two players on early signing day itself.
