Clemson has just landed a major prospect for the class of 2026, as four-star safety Kaden Gebhardt from Olentangy High School (Lewis Center, Ohio) receives a prestigious offer from the Tigers. Gebhardt, a standout on the field, visited Clemson this past weekend and shared the exciting news on social media Saturday.
“After an amazing visit and great conversations with Coach Swinney and Coach Mickey Conn, I’m honored to receive an offer from Clemson University!!!” Gebhardt posted.
Ranked as the No. 215 overall prospect nationally by 247Sports, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound safety is also ranked as the 17th best safety in the nation and the eighth top recruit from Ohio in the 2026 class. Gebhardt holds over 25 Division I offers from powerhouse programs like Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma, Penn State, Ole Miss, and more.
Notably, the offer comes from Clemson’s new defensive coordinator Tom Allen, who initially extended the offer last June while he was at Penn State. This is just the beginning for Gebhardt, and his recruitment is only heating up!
