Clemson recruiting momentum faces continued pressure

RJ Hudson's decommitment and planned Texas visit further thin Clemson's 2027 linebacker group.

Swinney's emphasis on retention and future personnel underscores broader portal-era roster-management concerns, but no major new recruiting development has changed the outlook.
