Clemson is shaking up its recruiting schedule by moving the Elite Retreat, one of its biggest events for the 2026 class, from January 25 to March 8. The change, reported by The Clemson Insider, gives head coach Dabo Swinney time to bring in a new defensive coordinator after parting ways with Wes Goodwin last week.
The retreat, which typically takes place in January, will still host several high-profile recruits. Four-star offensive linemen Carter Scruggs, Grant Wise, Bear McWhorter, and Desmond Green have all committed to attending the new date in March. However, 4-star OL Maxwell Riley plans to stick with the original January date due to his track schedule and a potential early decision in the coming weeks.
While Clemson usually follows up the Elite Retreat with a junior day in March, this adjustment isn’t expected to hurt the Tigers’ recruiting efforts. Most players in the 2026 class won’t make final decisions until after summer visits. Clemson already has five players committed for 2026, including 4-star quarterback Tait Reynolds, 4-star cornerback Shavar Young Jr., and 3-star offensive lineman Braden Wilmes.
By pushing back the retreat, Clemson ensures its coaching staff is fully in place and ready to impress its top targets for the next cycle.
