Clemson added another talented quarterback to its future on Thursday.

Four-star signal caller Trace Hawkins announced his commitment to the Tigers, choosing Clemson over LSU, Duke, Virginia Tech and Vanderbilt. The Calhoun, Georgia native gives Dabo Swinney and his staff another highly regarded passer to develop as they continue building for the future.

Hawkins has been a familiar face in Clemson over the past year. His first visit came during the 2024 season, and he returned several times in 2026, including trips for the Tigers’ spring game, Elite Day and Swinney’s high school camp. Those visits gave Clemson’s staff multiple opportunities to evaluate the talented quarterback while allowing Hawkins to get a closer look at the program.

The 6-foot-1 passer is coming off a productive sophomore season at Calhoun High School, where he threw for 2,442 yards and 24 touchdowns with only three interceptions. He also added three rushing scores, showcasing his ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs. Recruiting services have already identified him as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2028 class, with both 247Sports and Rivals ranking him among the nation’s top prospects.

Hawkins also becomes the first commitment in Clemson’s 2028 recruiting class, giving the Tigers an early foundation as the staff looks to build around one of the nation’s top young quarterbacks.
