Clemson Lands In-State Four-Star Safety Kentavion Anderson Commitment

Kentavion “Polo” Anderson, a highly ranked four-star safety from Roebuck, South Carolina, has committed to Clemson University for the 2026 class, choosing the Tigers over other top programs including South Carolina, Michigan, and Florida. Anderson, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs around 190-200 pounds, is considered one of the top safety prospects nationally and the No. 2 player in South Carolina. His commitment was marked by a memorable announcement featuring Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney joining a live call, underscoring the strong family and culture appeal that influenced Anderson's decision. Clemson's 2026 recruiting class, now with 15 commitments, remains ranked in the national Top 5, bolstered by Anderson as the second safety alongside Kaden Gebhardt. Anderson emphasized the unique family atmosphere and strong relationships with the coaching staff, particularly with Swinney, as key factors in his choice to stay in-state and join Clemson. The recruit has been a regular visitor to Clemson’s campus, further solidifying his connection to the program ahead of his official visit in late May.
