Clemson, SC — Dabo Swinney and wide receivers coach Tyler Grisham have scored another major recruiting win, securing a verbal commitment from highly coveted 4-star wide receiver Terrance “TJ” Moore Jr. out of Tampa Catholic High School in Florida.
The explosive playmaker, ranked among the nation’s top pass-catching prospects in the 2024 class, announced his decision earlier this week via social media, declaring his intent to join the Tigers over a star-studded list of offers. Moore held scholarships from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida State, Miami, Florida, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Auburn, and more — a clear indication of the national buzz surrounding his talents.
Dynamic Addition to the WR Room
Moore becomes the second wide receiver commit in Clemson’s 2024 class and could potentially be the final addition at the position, based on current scholarship numbers. The Tigers have been selective with this recruiting cycle, and Moore fits the mold of what Swinney’s staff looks for: speed, versatility, and high-character leadership.
Known for his crisp route-running, elite hands, and big-play ability, Moore has been a standout at Tampa Catholic, torching defenses across the Sunshine State. His commitment is a huge statement for Clemson, reinforcing their national recruiting footprint in the state of Florida.
“ALL IN” and a Message to the Nation
Moore announced his decision with the familiar “ALL IN” tagline, a nod to Clemson’s program identity under Swinney, and tagged key recruiting figures including @Hayesfawcett3 and @Coach_Grisham, signaling a tightly coordinated and celebrated win for the Tigers.
Room for One More?
Though Moore may be the final receiver taken, there remains a potential wildcard: 5-star athlete Mike Matthews of Lilburn, Georgia. If Matthews expresses serious interest in joining Clemson, insiders suggest the coaching staff could explore creative options — such as slotting Matthews under the “Athlete” designation — to make room despite the current scholarship limitations. Matthews’ elite status makes him one of the few players worth reshuffling the board for.
Clemson’s 2024 Class Gaining National Attention
With Moore now on board, Clemson’s 2024 class climbs to 11 total commitments, with an impressive 10 of them rated as 4-stars or higher. The Tigers continue to build a class rich in talent, athleticism, and long-term upside — positioning themselves firmly among the elite programs nationally for the cycle.
Expect the Tigers’ staff to continue pressing for elite defensive talent while maintaining flexibility in case a generational talent like Matthews leans their way.
For now, TJ Moore’s pledge is a massive win — and a loud reminder that Clemson is far from done making noise in 2024.
— ALL IN.
