Clemsonfootball’s big recruiting weekend is happening on campus, but one of the Tigers’ top commitments is making headlines from California.
Kharim Hughley opened the Elite 11 Finals with a strong showing Friday in Los Angeles, earning recognition as one of the top quarterbacks from the opening day of competition.
Rivals placed Hughley fourth overall among the 20 quarterbacks invited to compete, adding another notable moment to what has already been a strong offseason for the Clemson pledge. National analyst Greg Biggins praised Hughley’s arm talent and ability to generate velocity from multiple angles, noting that several throws drew visible reactions from people watching on the field.
Hughley’s rise has continued since his commitment to Clemson last summer. After receiving an offer from the Tigers, he wasted little time shutting down his recruitment, and his junior season only strengthened that decision.
The Gainesville High School standout helped lead his team to a 12-win season and a trip to the Georgia 5A state championship game. He finished the year with 2,456 passing yards and 33 touchdowns through the air, while adding another eight rushing touchdowns on the ground.
He’s now viewed as one of the more highly regarded quarterbacks in the 2027 class, with recruiting services continuing to rank him among the top quarterback prospects nationally.
Hughley is set to return to Clemson in less than two weeks for his official visit during the Tigers’ June 12–14 recruiting weekend.
While Clemson continues building momentum on the recruiting trail at home this weekend, one of its future quarterbacks is doing the same on the West Coast. Hughley’s performance on Day 1 in Los Angeles gave Clemson another reason to feel good about the future of the position.
