Amare Adams and the Three Most Impactful Clemson 2025 Commits

By Apollo Lundin

At Clemson, recruiting is the clear focus for head coach Dabo Swinney. Swinney famously does not like the new transfer portal in college football, so much so that he refuses to use it to upgrade the Tigers’ roster. With Clemson currently 8-2, it seems like Swinney and the Tigers are going to be just fine, but to continue their current success and get back to the late 2010's run, Amare Adams and the 2025 recruiting class will have to progress quickly to make an impact on the field.

Listed at just under 6’4’’ and weighing 290 lbs., five-star defensive lineman Amare Adams will look to make an immediate impact. With his build and skillset, Adams, who received an invite to the Navy All-American Bowl, can be a great rusher in both pass and run situations.

Amare Adams holds great pursuit of the ball and follows up with tremendous hit power. He is a textbook tackler when needed, and his awareness, paired with his size, is a real asset as he’s able to knock down passes in the backfield. Adams can shed blocks with ease, but that’s also against high-school competition. Through three years of varsity football, Amare Adams has tallied 184 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks. Adams has a great foundation, and he should develop into a possible first-round pick.

Amare Adams is a three-sport athlete, playing basketball and participating in track and field events.

Adams held 15 offers from P4 schools but chose the Tigers over schools like Alabama, Auburn, and Ohio State.
