Falcons scouts laud Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell for his speed, energy and ‘plays bigger than he is’ mentality, noting his toughness and competitiveness despite his smaller frame. Seen as a young player still growing into his body, Terrell’s upside and early contribution potential make him a compelling Day 1 prospect for a Falcons team emphasizing athleticism and a ball-h hawking mentality.

Lions target long-term right tackle with Clemson standout Blake Miller

The Detroit Lions selected Clemson offensive lineman Blake Miller 17th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, adding a 6-7, 317-pound tackle who started 54 straight games and owns 3,778 career snaps for Clemson. Miller, who primarily played right tackle and earned First-Team All-ACC in 2025, is praised for his size, length and strength in both pass protection and run blocking, with scouts noting durability and consistency. Lions coachs and analysts expect him to compete for the starting right tackle spot as a day-one contributor alongside Larry Borom, leveraging his experience and leadership to bolster Detroit's line.

Lions land Clemson OT Blake Miller with 17th pick, signaling Sewell at left tackle

The Detroit Lions selected Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller with the 17th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, addressing a major need after releasing Taylor Decker. Miller, a four-year Clemson starter who mostly played right tackle, fits the Lions’ culture; the pick suggests Penei Sewell may move to left tackle.

Packers land Clemson corner Terrell in Kiper's 2026 mock draft

ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr.'s final 2026 mock has the Packers taking Clemson corner Avieon Terrell at No. 52, a speedy man-to-man defender who has 25 PBUs and 3 interceptions in college and five forced fumbles in 2025 (eight in two seasons). Terrell is 5'11", 186 lbs, and hamstring injuries have clouded his speed (private pro day run reportedly 4.67), but he could start for Green Bay in Year 1 if health cooperates. He’s the younger brother of A.J. Terrell and was an All-ACC pick for two straight seasons at Clemson, finishing his college career at age 21.

Tar Heels Must Wake Up: Desperation Now or NCAA Bid on the Line

UNC’s 80-79 ACC Tournament loss to Clemson puts the Tar Heels at a crossroads, needing a collective, desperate effort to revive their NCAA Tournament hopes. Henri Veesaar led with 28 points and 17 rebounds but Carolina couldn’t sustain momentum against Clemson’s physical defense until a late rally fell short, and Caleb Wilson was unavailable. Hubert Davis acknowledged the team didn’t respond to the physicality early, echoing warnings from UNC’s famous 2000 run after a similar setback and underscoring the urgency to play desperate every minute going forward.

Tar Heels-Tigers renew ACC Tournament clash in Charlotte

No. 19 North Carolina travels to Charlotte to open the ACC Tournament with a rematch against Clemson after a season-ending 76–61 loss to Duke. UNC seeks to rebound behind its shooters (notably Luka Bogavac, who hit six 3s in the previous meeting) as Clemson’s defense braces to slow Seth Trimble and Henri Veesaar; Clemson also looks to capitalize in the paint with RJ Godfrey. UNC led the all-time series 137–25 and held a slight rebounding edge in the last game, but Welling’s knee injury adds frontcourt uncertainty. Bracket Matrix projects UNC as a 5-seed and Clemson as an 8-seed in the NCAA tournament, setting up a high-stakes rematch in the postseason push.
