Clemson defensive line target Segun Alexander commits to Notre Dame
Summary

Clemson's pursuit of defensive line talent faced a setback as four-star defensive tackle Segun Alexander announced his commitment to Notre Dame on June 23, 2026. Alexander, who reclassified to the 2027 recruiting class, chose Notre Dame over Clemson, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt after multiple visits to Clemson. The decision comes as Clemson has already secured commitments from defensive players like Desmond Malpress and JiQuan Rogers. The coaching staff hopes to bolster their class by landing another major target, four-star recruit Seth Tillman, who will announce on July 11.
