Clemson’s policy against committed players visiting other schools leaves Bryce Kish and Max Brown as its 2027 linebackers.
OCT 10, 2026
On Friday, three-star 2027 linebacker RJ Hudson decommitted from Clemson after scheduling an official visit to Texas for Oct. 24, putting coach Swinney’s no-visits rule at the center of the move, according to Yahoo Sports.
Swinney does not allow committed players to take official visits with other schools. Clemson now has two 2027 linebackers, Bryce Kish and Max Brown.
Texas is 4-0 in 2026 and was ranked No. 1 in both preseason polls, while Clemson is 3-2. Hudson ranks 44th among edge rushers and 486th overall in the 247Sports composite, leaving Clemson to defend a recruiting rule that can cost the program a player who wants to visit elsewhere.
Hudson’s visit is scheduled for Oct. 24, when Texas hosts Ole Miss and Clemson hosts Virginia Tech. Hudson has not said whether he will make the trip or choose Texas or another program.
